Geographical coordinates (north latitude/west longitude) of the shipwrecks observed in Google Earth are provided in three formats. The datum is WGS84. We have confirmed that these coordinates are relatively accurate. Shipwrecks are identified here with varying degrees of confidence. Other similar vessels may have sunk in these areas.
