Set sail with best friends and sailors, Colleen and Julia, as they embark on voyages throughout the ages that met a fatal nautical fate. These two bffs discuss shipwrecks, while floating on the drink of their choosing each episode.
One of the world’s most concentrated areas to dive shipwrecks is in a remote island in the Philippines, Coron. Sunk in WWII by American fighter pilots, these ships have sunk relatively recently and therefore, are in great shape to explore.
In today’s episode, we cover the sinking of these wrecks, as well as what’s involved with diving them. Julia has traveled to the Philippines for the sole purpose of diving these shipwrecks, completing her Open Water, Advanced and Nitrox certifications in Coron to do so.
Visit our instagram: @thegirlsgetwreckedpod for pictures, videos, and updates on the jaw-dropping experience of diving these beautiful, eerie, mystical shipwrecks.

Deadliest U.S. Shipwreck: SS Sultana
Often compared to the Titanic, the SS Sultana is considered the worst U.S. Maritime disaster. Step back with us into the smokey twilight of 1800s America, when steamships like the Sultana churned down rivers like rain down a gutter.
Amid this Mark Twain tinged era of adventure and riverboating romance rises the harrowing tale of the SS Sultana, a story so haunting its death count rivals that of the Titanic, yet has slipped almost unnoticed into the shadows of history.
So, grab your ticket, step aboard and join us as we cruise down the mighty Mississippi... where history forgets but the river remembers! Get ready to Get Wrecked!

Vasa: World's Best Preserved 17th c. Ship
While most of our shipwrecks stay in the water, the Vasa is a unique exception. Our very own co-host, Colleen, was able to visit the subject of today's podcast, The Vasa. That's right, today's episode features a boat you can actually go see on land.
Hailed "The Glory of Sweden," the Vasa was a state-of-the-art warship of her time, the mid 1600s. After a series of miscommunications sunk her, she was eventually rescued and put on display in Stockholm, Sweden, where you, like Colleen, can go see her!
Enjoy the topsy tale of this one-of-a-kind ship, and visit our instagram @thegirlsgetwrecked to see pictures of Colleen at the Vasa.

From Colonel to Cannibal: Frigate Méduse
Sail through history with us, from the height of the Spice Trade to the halls of the Louvre, aboard the legendary French frigate La Méduse. Hailed as the quintessential French warship, she saw fierce action during the Napoleonic Wars—yet her story didn’t end there.
In fact, if fortune favors you, you can still visit a fragment of her today—something cohost Julia was lucky enough to do and recount.
This episode dives into a discussion of naval trade from the 16th to 19th centuries, a dollop of Napoleonic history, and the disastrous voyage of a vain captain whose crew paid the price - a classic shipwreck saga. Get ready, it's time to Get Wrecked!
