Description:      This dataset contains those shipwrecks located
                  in marine waters within the vicinity of the main Hawaiian
                  Islands and recorded on the nautical charts.

Source :   NOAA Nautical Charts	

History:   The raster nautical charts were first reprojected from
           their original projection/datum to UTM Zone 4, NAD 83 using
           NOAA's Nautical Chart Reprojector v1.8.3. NOAA's ArcView
           ChartViewer extension was used to display the reprojected
           nautical charts in ArcView v3.2. Data points were then
           digitized off the individual nautical charts and merged
           into a single dataset/shapefile which covers the entire state.
           Completed December, 2002.
