SHIPWRECKS: North Carolina's Graveyard Of The Atlantic ~ Packet By Eric Hause: A shipwrecks Graveyard of the Atlantic by Eric Hause Find attractions, civil war forts, history, events, and things to do, as well as real estate, bed and breakfast inns http://www.coastalguide.com/packet/nc-shipwrecks.shtml

for FREE NC Coastal Map Maps Distributed by NCDOT SHIPWRECKS: Graveyard of the Atlantic by Eric Hause North Carolina Coast The first recorded shipwreck along the North Carolina coast took place in 1585, when one of John White's flagships, the Tyger, wrecked at Ocracoke Inlet. In the 400 years since, historians estimate that over 1,000 ships have been lost along the coast, earning the treacherous waters the nickname "The Graveyard of the Atlantic." Mariners still dread the trinity of capes that characterize North Carolina's coast: Cape Hatteras, Cape Lookout, and the aptly named Cape Fear. Like the points on a net, the capes arc far into the Atlantic, with submerged shoals extending even further. Geography combines with weather and circumstance to create a dangerous situation for mariners. The Gulf Stream, long used as an ocean highway from the Caribbean to Europe, comes perilously close to the Carolina coast. At Cape Hatteras, it brushes the cold Labrador Current, which runs parallel to the shore from northern climates. The resulting clash of waters creates the deadly Diamond Shoals, which extend 20 miles to sea and is only a few feet deep in places. Add the astonishing frequency of hurricanes and winter nor'easters that occur here, and the recipe for disaster is complete. Many famous wrecks and near-misses have occurred along the Carolina islands, some of them resulting in political and social change. In 1790, Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, himself the victim of a close encounter off Cape Hatteras as a child, ordered the construction of the first lighthouse there.

Sitemap Membership eCards Shop Minnesota's Historic Shipwrecks The cold fresh water of Minnesota’s lakes and rivers have preserved an important part of our history - in shipwrecks! Each one is a unique and integral part of the fabric of America's maritime heritage. Together, they provide physical contact with and offer an exciting opportunity to explore the past. Because they represent a valuable but finite and nonrenewable resource, we must provide for their protection and preservation. If we don't, the first generation to have ready access to shipwrecks will be the last to enjoy them. In the interest of preserving Minnesota's Lake Superior shipwrecks and other underwater archaeological sites in Minnesota’s lakes and rivers, the State Historic Preservation Office of the Minnesota Historical Society has initiated a program of submerged cultural resource management. The Society hopes you will join its effort to preserve our maritime heritage. Updated: 07/08/97 Shipwreck Map Shipwreck Exhibit Thomas Wilson Hesper Onoko Madeira ... Samuel P. Ely

The 202 ft. sidewheel steamer Keweenaw - Built 1866 at Marine City, Michigan Keweenaw Underwater Preserve The Keweenaw Underwater Preserve was established by the State of Michigan in 1991 in order protect the area's submerged historic resources and to help divers to responsibly enjoy the area's shipwrecks. Information about these vessels and their remains is presented here to increase interest in protecting and preserving these and other historic Keweenaw wrecksites. For years these wrecks were slowly deteriorating due to vandalism and neglect. Now however, these historic wrecksites attract many divers and historians to the area and help build the local economy. Remember, it is illegal to remove anything from most Great Lakes shipwrecks and you can be prosecuted for doing so. Although not all wrecks on this site are actually in the Preserve, they are all still protected from illegal salvage by Michigan State law, and all are closely monitored. Many of these wreck locations were kept secret for years out of fear that they would be looted or damaged. Please respect the decision to publicise these historic wreck locations for your diving enjoyment by not stealing from them or damaging them. Last updated 8/24/2001 Take a look at Lake Superior through Cable America's Live Eagle Harbor Webcam Undiscovered Wrecks The Keweenaw has hosted about 140 total losses since 1844. Of these about 40 have been located and positively identified. The vast majority may still have undiscovered remains which lie in the area. Continuing research is being carried out to locate historic vessel remains in and around the Keweenaw for archeological study and recreational diving and many unidentified hulls are being surveyed for identification purposes.

Some people get so caught up in it, that they spend their entire lives researching, mapping, and searching for these lost vessels at sea. Nothing stops these people, even when tragic deaths result from their search; they just use that as an impetus to keep on going. Boat wrecks aren't restricted to the oceans of the world either, as many boats have been lost on the huge inland lakes, and of course a number of smaller ones are lost consistently on lakes across the world. I remember when I lived on Lake Superior when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down, and it was the main news for a long time in the midwest, as people from around the area populated a lot of the ship's crew. Gordon Lightfoot fans may remember he wrote a song about the tragedy named simply "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald."

Aerial view of Bird Key Wreck in Dry Tortugas National Park Photo by and courtesy of National Park Service Submerged Resources Center Florida's shipwrecks are important for many different reasons. The story of each shipwreck adds to the intricate tapestry of local history. Dugout canoes provide information about American Indians who occupied the area for thousands of years. During more recent times, some vessels were locally famous and contributed to the development of Florida's economy. Others provide information on the history of commerce in the region from the days of Spanish treasure fleets up through the age of steamboats and continuing into present day. Shipwrecks contain important information not found in history books or archival records and can supplement our understanding of the past. Florida Shipwrecks: 300 Years of Maritime History

The next morning the Light vessel was gone. At first Coast Guard officials reported only that the lightship was "off Station". It being wartime and fearing public hysteria, a media blackout was in effect until the exact cause of the vessel's sinking could be determined.
