The history of the SS Grainton began with it being built by Chapman and Willan who owned four ships all with the names of SS Grainton. But this was the very first which sank deep in St. Thomas. It was built in 1911 and launched in March 26 of the same year.

Now the entire ship lies deep about 110 feet under the waters with all the gunwales open to give a reveal of its 3 huge steam engines where were all made frozen in time. The engine measures about 20 feet high and 10 feet wide and now serves as home to many schools of fish. Watch out too for large nurse sharks and pelagic prowlers with this deep level of water.

Its sand floor is another of its most interesting features. Many legends say that this is the very path that Moses and his children walked for the whole 40 years.

Consistent restorations were being made to the place and by 1995 to around 1996, there was a tiny museum that was added to the synagogue. It was named after Johnny Weibel who was a congregation member. The said museum displays the history of the congregation and some of the rest of the Jewish history spread on the island.
