Anyone know of any kind of interesting shipwrecks in Hawaii? I know there are whaling ships but did they carry any kind of gold, like currency ect. What about artifacts there must be some cool stuff laying around. Aloha
ah old artifacts be found near the old napoopoo village were capt cook was killed in 1779--on the isle of hawaii a monument was built there-- stuff has been found in the area --
capt cook landing site at waimea bay is 2 miles SW of state 50 in the southwest corner of kauai cook camped here in 1778 --
old russian fort built in 1817 --off state 20 about 200 yards southwest of waimea bridge on the isle of kauai was a old trading post--

Out of all the diving i did for 12 years off oahu i never found any old shipwrecks.all i found was old engines,outboard motors,a P-47 off the edge of the kailua reef,a jap zero near rabbit island(we removed the machine guns an donated them to bishop museum) and a P-39 near the mokes.an a P-47 near where they built the new honolulu runway back in 1976.
