SS Admiral Sampson was a U.S.-flagged cargo and passenger steamship that served three owners between 1898 and 1914, when it was rammed by a Canadian passenger liner and sank in Puget Sound. Following its sinking off Point No Point, Admiral Sampson has become a notable scuba diving destination for advanced recreational divers certified to use rebreathing equipment.
