I was looking into of the history of St marks, supposedly there are some ship wrecks from the civil war in the bay near st marks. Is there anything actually left out there from these wrecks?

YES THERE ARE SOME LEFT, ONE IS AT THE END OF THE JETTIES AT THE LIGHTHOUSE CANAL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WAS A SMALL SUBMARINE THAT WAS SUNK IN WW 1, I KNOW THERE IS SOME STEEL THERE, CAN NOT VERIFY WHAT IT CAME FROM.

Back when I was really into Civil War History, I read about several wrecks along the Gulf coast, but wasn't able to find anything that gave sufficient coordinates to find any near shore. Old fishermen would tell me of some that were there, but broken up. Found something closer to Apalachicola years ago that MIGHT have been a wreck off of St. George's Island.
