The Office of Coast Survey's Automated Wreck and Obstruction Information System (AWOIS) contains information on over 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.

if you do a search on google, or even here on scubaboard, there is an overlay for google earth with all the awois info on it.

Thanks I think I looked at that before.

What I thought was interesting about the link I posted was the listings of unknown obstructions. I guess it is the explorer coming out in me. I think I would rather search for an undiscovered wreck and never find it than dive a wreck that hundreds of divers had already been to.
