By Cornelia White


Florida shipwrecks may have been uncovered for quite several years now but these still never fail to attract enthusiastic divers and tourists. These are actually remnants of vessels in the old times sailing round not only for the sake of commerce but for the fleeting joy of being afloat across the Atlantic Ocean that unlikely met fate off somewhere in Florida by the billowing winds of ill weather conditions and by chance. Tales having to do with several maritime tragedies that link to the discovery of the shipwrecks have gently sparked up interest not just of marine archaeologists but of everyone.

Albeit being economically frustrating and emotionally draining, these might have stolen millions of lives but divers and fishermen nowadays have been blessed to reap off the bounty of unfortunate maritime incidents generated after all those years. These shipwrecks have become breading grounds of countless aquatic resources. Several artifacts have become great sites for divers as well as snappers. These have left not just intriguing stories but great things as though they are blessings in disguise.

Enchanting coral reefs, hordes of colorful schools and countless artifacts are simply some things you can see underwater. There are around 5,000 shipwrecks in the 1,200 mile coastline of Florida.
