The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration compiled its Wrecks and Obstructions Database to document over 10,000 sunken ships and obstructions in the coastal waters of the United States.
This interactive database lets users see the combined information of the Automated Wreck and Obstruction Information System (AWOIS) and electronic navigation charts (ENCs). The location of these wrecks and obstructions are displayed, also indicating whether they are fully or partially submerged, so other vessels are aware of any danger.
