MS Estonia's final call for help

What is your favorite shipwreck?
For me, it's gotta be the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. Such a fascinating, yet tragic tale of how an absolute monolith of a freighter met a mysterious end. A truly legendary ship.

Archaeologists believe a shipwreck found near the southernmost part of Africa might be the remains of the galleon São Jorge—a Portuguese ship believed to have sunk during explorer Vasco da Gama's final voyage. The wreck was discovered in 2013 and recent findings are summarized in the article. Very cool!!!

On this day in 1916, the Britannic sank in the Aegean Sea
On this day, November 21, in 1916, the HMHS Britannic, the sister ship of the Titanic sank in the Aegean Sea in Greece after hitting a naval mine carrying 1,066 passengers and crew. The ship sank in only 55 minutes, but unlike the Titanic, most people on board the Britannic survived, with only 30 people dying.

The Tragedy of the SS Eastland: 844 people died, A Forgotten Disaster of 1915
https://youtu.be/z0vmKOSqey0?si=TcA_ekesoD1Lku3P
On July 24, 1915, the SS Eastland, a passenger steamship in Chicago, capsized shortly after setting sail, killing 844 people—one of the deadliest maritime disasters in U.S. history. This tragedy, which claimed the lives of families, friends, and coworkers on a company picnic, is often overlooked in history. In this video, we explore the tragic events of that day, the flawed design of the Eastland, and the human stories behind the disaster. We also look at the aftermath, the investigation into safety failures, and how this forgotten tragedy has shaped maritime safety regulations today

Any idea what these could be?
Side wheeler designed in 1853 or 1854, sank in 1857. Any ideas as to what the 2 pole-like structures on the left and right could be? They’re too spiky on the left and too many of them on the right to be the funnel, the left looks too big to be a chain for a 150 foot long steamer. Maybe the right one is ventilation pipes? Thanks for the help
