Inquiries

The Office of Coast Survey's Automated Wreck and Obstruction Information System (AWOIS) contains information on approximately 10,000 submerged wrecks and obstructions in the coastal waters of the United States. Information includes latitude and longitude of each feature along with brief historic and descriptive details.

Please note regarding AWOIS item downloads: the Adobe Acrobat files (.pdf) are approximately 2-6MB and the MS Access files (.mdb) are approximately 0.3MB. Downloads may be very slow if you have less than a 56KB modem. Both file types will be zipped. AWOIS items are arranged by increasing Latitude.
