Greta Granstedt was the San Francisco roommate of explorer Bessie Haley
Hyde, who vanished, under mysterious circumstances, along with her
husband Glenn, while attempting to become the first couple to navigate
the length of the Grand Canyon solo.
Miss Granstedt's parents were aboard the liner San Juan, which sailed
between San Francisco and Los Angeles, when she sank less than three
minutes after colliding with a tanker. Mr. Grandstedt survived, his
wife did not. According to the newspapers, they were en route to L.A.
to visit with their actress daughter when they were caught up in the
August 1929 disaster.
