Ship graveyards?

I will be taking a trip to New Orleans in a couple weeks and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some ship graveyards off the coast of Louisiana or possibly Mississippi. I tried using Google earth to locate some but was unable to. I'm sure there are probably some around that area but I can't seem to find them any help?

I know of a couple off the Texas coast, but you might try this site.

That link seems to to be more about fully sunken ships. What I was hoping to find is more like this: http://www.opacity.us/site55.htm.
I'm not looking for a handout here, just a general location where there are some partially submerged ships. We will only be in the area for a week so we don't really have time to drive the coast if there is nothing to see.

Thanks,
j.

I'm interested in this as well, more so on the Texas coast though. I know in ports there's stuff like this piled up, not so sure out in the middle of nowhere. I think most abandoned ships are now drug out for scrap or reefs.

You may want to look at the S.S. Selma, it is in Galveston just off the coast of Pelican Island, it is a concrete ship built around 1919 and abandoned in 1922
