The Office of Coast Survey's Automated Wreck and Obstruction Information System (AWOIS) contained information on over 10,000 submerged wrecks and obstructions in the coastal waters of the United States. Information included latitude and longitude of each feature along with brief historic and descriptive details. The AWOIS system has been discontinued, the replacement is here.
