After the disaster, people often came to this area of the sea to salvage gold, but never found the proper status, so far in vain. Although only 17 boats have been recovered so far from the sea with the help of a random tool, there are still vast treasures on the ocean floor waiting to be rescue dawn.

Most of the ships that sank in Humboldt County came from the 19th and 20th centuries. The exact time of the sinking, the country and the owner of the ship, including the main cause of the sinking of the ship and the exact location of the sinking, are all kept intact in this generator.
