- Shipwreck
Database
A wealth of shipwrecks in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary
are a result of the significant maritime exploration and trade which
has occurred here, coupled with a coastline dotted with shallow, rocky
headlands and largely exposed to fog, prevailing winds and storms. More
than 140 shipwrecks have been documented in this region, and there are
undoubtedly more that are not recorded. The shallow, rocky areas of
Point Lobos, Cypress Point, Point Pinos and Santa Cruz have the highest
known frequency of recorded shipwrecks for the Sanctuary.
