There are hundreds of wrecks along the Jersey Shore. One area called the Brigatine Shoals saw wrecks come right up on to the beach. One of the earliest was the British frigate Roebuck a 44 gun ship. It wrecked on the south end of Brigatine island. This ship dated back around 1780. There is at least 300 wrecks documented in this area alone. Most were broken apart on the shoals and were a complete loss. Others were pulled off the shoals and salvaged.

Thanks for the info. Have any shipwreck relics been found lately by mder's? Just wondering what beach might be the best for that if it is even possible to find such a thing with the way they work the beaches now, Brigatine area? Cape May maybe?

I'm not aware of any finds lately. I think most finds would be kept quiet by most MD'ers. Your chances are just as good anywhere from Sandy Hook to Cape May. The coast is full of wrecks. How much relic end on the beaches is a question I can't answer.

Here's an example of what could be found. Some body already beat you to tis one. http://www.thesindia.com/main.html

The Sindia is actually buried about 25 - 30 feet beneath the beach between 11th & 12th Streets in Ocean City.

hmm,interesting. I will need a helper to mold the sand from the hole I dig into a big castle so we wont stand out,lol.

I am not really expecting to find any shipwreck relics just wondering if what beach would be the best? I'm guessing any of them.
