Hey,

I bought this game back in the day when I was just a kid, but I still dust it off every few years to replay because it's uniqueness is undeniable and I've always been into marine archaeology. Anyway, I have coordinates for like 90% of the game's wrecks if anyone wants me to share!

My preferred method of playing is to first find a few super loaded wrecks like the N.S. de la Maravilla in the Bahamas and the San Jose off Columbia... usually those 2 alone give me enough money to buy a Sea Rogue right away and from there it's easy sailing if you buy cargo extensions because you can dive multiple wrecks and keep the cargo bay open without having to go to port after every dive.

One thing that always bothered me (and who would have thought 15 years later I'd finally figure it out) was finding the Titanic. I had the coordinates, but it would never show up on a search, even when I took the Sea Rogue as deep as possible thinking maybe that had something to do with it. But still nothing. Then, after a certain point in the game you get a message intercepted from Evil Eddy that he's at the site and is going to plunder it. Now I used to go there and get into a combat situation with him and usually he would fall off the radar and I would elect to disengage and then it would say I failed to protect the wreck and lost all my contracts. But just yesterday the same thing happened and this time I made sure not to lose him and fired 2 torpedos and one of them finally hit him and after that I was able to find the wreck on my sonar! I sent in the probe, but unfortunately there's no artifacts in the wreck because it's protected as a historical site. Still... if anyone had that problem, there's your answer!

Here's a few of the best wrecks in terms of wealth, uniqueness, or unique items:

N.S. de la Concepcion - Bahamas (except the wreck site in the game is actually way out by the BVI)
N.S. de la Maravilla - Bahamas
El Rubi Segundo - Florida
N.S. de Atocha - Florida
N.S. del Juncal - Mexico
De Todos los Dias & San Jose - Columbia (San Jose I think is the richest wreck in the game)
Hunley
S.S. Central America
Buena Vista
Tobermory Galleon
Girona
Carmelan
Mary
Telemaque
La Lutine
some of the Vigo Bay wrecks
Las Cinque Chagas

And of course the modern wrecks are cool, but they get repetitive after a while

If anyone wants coordinates let me know! Hopefully they are the same in every game?
