There’s An Estimated 300 Shipwrecks In the Area
It would be a challenge to count all the shipwrecks under the waters of the Golden Gate strait, but Live Science estimates it to be around 300. The different wrecks from different eras got scattered across the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary.
The oldest shipwreck they got information about was a ship called San Agustin. It’s a ship from Spain that sunk sometime in the 16th century. One of the newer additions to the shipwreck collection in the area was the tanker Puerto Rican that sunk in 1984.
