June 14 (UPI) -- The U.S. Coast Guard announced Tuesday the discovery of one of its ships, sunk off the California coast exactly 100 years ago.
The cutter McCullouch delivered the news in 1898 of Commodore George Dewey's victory in the Spanish-American War at the Battle of Manila Bay. After the destruction of the Spanish fleet, the boat sailed with the announcement to a telegraph office in Hong Kong.
