The Sindia was on the last leg of her journey when she made her way firmly onto the beach at Ocean City New Jersey in 1901. This wreck immediately garnered local interest due to her mostly intact nature, but also caused a good deal of rumor. Everyone had a theory about what really happened to cause the wreck. The fact that she was owned by John D Rockefeller did not calm the rumors, indeed, it only added the possibility that she had been carrying treasure.
