Here are some common wrecks found in the waters near your area.
The oldest known shipwreck near here is the SS North America, a steamship that sank in 1875 just off the coast. Its remains were discovered in 1987 and artifacts are on display at the local maritime museum.
Many local dive shops and charter boat companies have maps showing plotted locations of known shipwrecks. You can also check online databases maintained by state agencies and avocational dive clubs to research wrecks by name, date, or geographic area.
Shipwrecks may contain a variety of artifacts depending on the age and type of vessel. Common items found include ceramic dishes, bottles, weapons, tools, machinery parts, coins, clothing/shoes and in some cases sealed cargo. Deeper, older wrecks often have concreted artifacts requiring special tools to uncover.
Laws governing artifact recovery vary depending on location but in most places it is illegal to remove artifacts from protected, historical shipwrecks without a permit. Recreational divers are usually restricted to collecting loose, isolated items but cannot take anything embedded in the wreck structure itself.
Clues like machinery, rigging attachments, ordnance, flat-bottomed hulls vs. keeled vessels, and distinctive hardware can help identify wreck types such as sailing ships, steamers, fishing boats or military/naval craft. Examining diagnostic features with an experienced wreck diver can determine the likely vessel class.
