Figure 238. Names, dates, and distribution of shipwrecks. Taken from Mason (1955) and Gibbs (1957) supplemented 

 by some data from Coffman (1957) and other sources. Only a dozen ships are known to have been salvaged. 



larger pleasure craft in the region. A map 

 of the geographical distribution of wrecks 

 (Fig. 238) shows that 45 per cent are within 

 30 miles (48 km) of Los Angeles-Long 

 Beach Harbor, suggesting a correlation be- 

 tween number of wrecks and density of 

 shipping. A second concentration of 25 per 

 cent occurs in Santa Barbara Channel and 

 on the islands and mainland on either side 

 of it. Traffic is heavy in this area, and sev- 

 eral collisions have taken place in which 

 both ships that were involved sank at the 

 site; however, poor navigation is probably 



the cause of most of the other losses through 

 stranding, generally on the islands. The re- 

 maining 30 per cent of the wrecks are fairly 

 evenly distributed throughout the rest of the 

 region. 



Some of the wrecks have been salvaged 

 or partly stripped, whereas others remain 

 untouched and are for the most part of un- 

 certain position and depth dangerous to 

 divers. In addition, hundreds of additional 

 derelicts have slowly sunk and rotted away 

 at anchorages in the quite waters of San 

 Pedro, Newport, and San Diego harbors.
