Wow, back from the dead, good thing I checked tonight.
>>1844561I actually have 2 or 3 other threads archived (or at least they should be) with the majority of the 700-some hr ones I have. I can't help you with looking them up, but I know they were archived around spring last year.
>>1844709There's actually a ton in the SF area both submerged and exposed.
For the coordinates, remove the ABCs
1st is the USS Thompson which is actually in the bay itself. It's mostly scrapped, but part of the hull is still there. 37.55A322B4, -12C2.157583 also if you go a bit SE of those coordinates you can see a plane in flight...random, but cool.
2nd, not as cool as the Thompson. It's a little 50-foot ship (unidentified on my charts). On Google Maps it looks pretty shallow and the wreck's just off a bike path, so this one's probably easily accessible.
37.7582A13,-12B2.219C478
3rd is another unidentified ship. There's a rather odd story about this wreck concerning Tupac, but I'm pretty sure it's fake.
37.938A328, -122B.414C531
4th-There are some old tugs and barges in the Point San Pablo Yacht Harbor. I'd pass on these because they may not even be abandoned and just look like crap.
5th-About 30 miles N is the wreck of the USS Corry which looks pretty cool from the satellite view. It has a wikipedia page if you want to look it up.

6th is the coolest, but it's a bit out of the way. It's the Train Ferry Solano, probably the largest wooden ferry when it was built. When you plug in the coordinates, it may take you a second to realize that the whole "island" is actually the ferry. It was sunk as a breakwater but is still easily distinguishable after about 80 years. There unfortunately aren't any good high-res pics of the wreck or scans of old photos of it, but if you google it there's some cool pics of models. There's a wikipedia page on it too.
