Some Ships Sunk Off U.S. East Coast

MARYLAND

"Bottle Wreck" 25 miles south of Ocean City with coins, clay pipes pottery and, I imagine, bottles.  Storms change the field and expose new items every so often.

NORTH CAROLINA

World War II submarine TARPON off Cape Hatteras.
PROTEUS--  ocean liner that sank in 1918

SOUTH CAROLINA

SHERMAN, 200-foot-long Civil War blockade-runner with buttons, bottles and belt buckles.
GOVERNOR--  a Civil War-era paddle-wheeler with rifles and bullets.  The real name is not known.

FLORIDA--

NUESTA SENORA de ATOCHA--  The famous gold ship.

And There Are Many More.  --Cooter
