It is recommended that the user of this product perform his/her Own research to further increase the knowledge of a site. We strongly recommend that permission of the owner of any site be obtained prior to a search. FEDERAL LAWS In addition to the ARPA Laws, an additional Federal law called "Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987" is in effect and is being enforced. This law gives the individual States control over historic shipwrecks lying within 3 miles of the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts and 10 miles off of the Gulf Coast.

Distance measurements are taken from the center of one point to the center of the center of the other.
