The Texas coastline and offshore waters are flat; shallow; featureless; and filled with shoals. Texas waters are subjected to extreme weather; not just hurricanes and tropical storms but also northers and seasonal gales. This; combined with two centuries of naval warfare off Texas waters; produced many shipwrecks of all sorts; from Spanish treasure fleets to simple working boats. The ships of pirates; navies; cotton traders; immigrants; fishermen; and oil shippers line the Texas coast; cover the sea bottom off Texas; and blanket the bottom of Texas rivers. Each wreck has a story; romantic or repellent; prosaic or unusual; but all intriguing.
