Shipwrecks in Hawaii??

[makahaman]

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

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.
