GPS Numbers for Va Wrecks

[jgarysmith]

Does anybody know a good place to get the wrecks offshore of Va Beach GPS numbers. We are planning on are taking out our own boat and want to get another good source for numbers.

Thanks

You might try W.T. Brownley Company in Norfolk, http://www.brownley-nautical.com. They sell nautical charts among other things. Basically, any substantial fishing shop should have charts that show the wrecks with their lat-longs and Loran-C locations.

Here ya go! I haven't tested any of these, but I ran accross it a while back on the Virginia Angler website and kept the coordinates for their noted sites (#60 or so upwards) that were wrecks. They posted it for fishermen, but it's the same sites!

Try Gary Gentiles book - Shipwrecks of Virginia if you need Loran #. most are accurate

I haven't checked them all so I don't know how accurate they are. Be carefull some people use their GPS to convert loran # to GPS # Which may get you close but not good enough if it's a small wreck.

Check VRMC in Newport News they also have a list.

Looking around or looking to kill something?

Which are you interested in? I can probably tell you if it's worth looking for.
