The state of Connecticut has some 600 miles of undulating coastline along the north shore of Long Island Sound. For centuries the Sound has provided a protected waterway for coastal marine traffic, but over the years it has been the site of numerous shipwrecks.

Below is a partial list of the wrecks located in the coastal and inland waters of Connecticut. Clicking on a Vessel Name link will take you to a wreck data page, where you'll find the wreck's history, specifications and pictures. Use the Back arrow to return here.
Because Connecticut borders on Long Island Sound, some of the wrecks listed are close to the New York shore. We've included these wrecks here because they are accessible by boat from Connecticut ports.
