S.S. Monte Carlo gambling ship wreck near Coronado

The S.S. Monte Carlo, a former gambling ship, ran aground and sank off the Silver Strand near Coronado in 1937; the wreckage has been documented by historians and marine surveys. Sections of the wreck and debris fields have become exposed at low tide at times, and artifacts from the wreck have been reported washing ashore on Coronado beaches. The Monte Carlo wreck and its remains are part of local maritime lore and are well-documented historical events rather than invented tales.
