Probably a lot down there, During the gold rush,
many ships were abandoned by their crews and left
to rot and sink after making the trip around the
Horn carrying miners bound for the gold fields.

Yes, but further in where the waterfront was filled in. They get found by construction crews in SF from time to time. These are wrecks that are outside the Gate, which I find fascinating.
