This is where I found them. The list is probably incomplete and may change. This is Beta after all.

* Steam Pump Flotsam (Zangarmarsh)
* Bloodsail Wreckage (Coastal STV)
* Schooner Wreckage (Hillsbrad Foothills, Wetlands)
* Waterlogged Wreckage (STV River, Theramore Beach)
* Floating Wreckage (Tanaris)

Comment by katherinne

Floating wreckage also in Tanaris.

Found waterlogged wreckage on the shore of Desolace - up by Ethel Rethor.

Comment by 22969

Oddly enough, the Schooner Wreckage can be found in Stonetalon Mountains. I stumbled across it in the Venture Co. area along the western part of the valley.

Don't ask me how they got a Schooner in there... I don't want to know. Goblins have very strange priorities.

Comment by Aristodamos

All comments below are correct, however I will tell you one thing:

FIsh in every school / pool you find. The amount of schools spawned is fixed. If you fish from a school of fish, another one will spawn somewhere in the area. Don't just run around hoping you'll find the one you're after!

I hope this will help. Saved me like... 3 weeks of farming :) Good luck!

Comment by wingsofscion

The ones that spawn along the barrens are Floating Debris, not Floating Wreckage. They don't count for this achievement.

My bad, then. Thanks for the correction. :)

Comment by Djuntas

Cords where I found the 5 wreckages/flotsams:

* Steam Pump Flotsam: 57.56 or so in Zangarmarsh. There all over the place. Very easy to find
* Bloodsail Wreckage: 27.43 close to STV arena. Can be very hard to find
* Schooner Wreckage: 55.64. You can actually often see wreckages, (only seen Schonner kind ever) when you fly along the coast, on your way to SS if you flew from IF :)
* Waterlogged Wreckage: 30.6 close to Nessings hunter camp in STV. Hard to find
* Floating Wreckage: 44.45 by the docks in Ferelas very easy to find.

I suggest you pair your traveling whit the diplomat fisher wich involves Fishing 1 singel time (dosent matter if school) in Stormwind and Ogrimmar. I did that

good luck, hope you liked my comment and found it usefull.

Edit: To help alliance get into ogrimmar to fish i suggest going for Valley of honor. You will die on average 10 times if you cant stealh trough to get inn and out.

Thanks for rating it up :) Nightelfsb gained forum achivement ^^

Waterlogged wreckage can also be found in Desolace along sar'theris Strand.

Comment by 233670

u can find Waterlogged Wreckage - 36.3 32.7 as well

Comment by 80032

I have found that the odd 1 or 2 Floating Wreakage does appear around the Venture Co Operations Center at Lake Nazferiti in STV (43,18) but although I have fished them they have not given me credit for the achievement.

Comment by 132990

All of the wreckages and flotsam can be found and easily spotted by using Find Fish -ability, which can be learned by finding A Weather-Beaten Journal (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=34109). Makes the job a bit easier.

Comment by 90582

Flaoting Wreckage also spawns in Azshara along the coastline.

Comment by cucmw5

Probably from the days when players who took the boats cross-continent during laggy world events - and found themselves on a boat glitched into the stonetalon mountainside.

I find this kinda funny since I remember other people getting glitched out there, and apparently there is water of some sort still there.

Comment by seryie

Completed this achievement is just under 2 hours total. The hardest one was the bloodsail, but it's along the southern east coast with their ships there was actually 2 of them during peak server time next to each other.

Good luck

Comment by 170203

The ones that gave me trouble were the Schooner and Floating Wreckages, since you can get two wreckages in STV and can almost trip off the ones in Zangarmarsh. These were the fastest ways I've found as Horde.

Floating Wreckage: Take the Caverns of Time portal to Tanaris and hug the beach to the east, fishing all the way. I found mine just south of Steamwheedle Port.
Schooner Wreckage: I didn't even find schools in Hinterlands off the Revantusk Village coast, so... that's too far to ride inland (and fly outland) for a bum like me. Port to UC, fly to Hillsbrad Foothills. Don't bother fishing up and down the river east of Tarren Mill: just go straight to the beach off Southshore. I got this right off the dock there.

Comment by 238349

Schooner Wreckage wetlands 12,43, Southshore 49,62
Floating Wreckage Tanaris 75,47

These are the only two i had any difficulty with

Comment by 105193

The Waterlogged Wreckage is not on the Theramore Beach, but on the beach north of Theramore, along "Dreadmurk Shore"

Comment by 19481

I had the most problems finding the Bloodsail Wreckage. I ended up finding one at 28,39 NW of Gurubashi Arena. I did however fish a bunch of schools up around the surrounding area before it popped.

Comment by 241131

After 1/2 hour fishing all nodes near Nessingwary's camp to generate the Waterlogged Wreakage without any luck, decided to run south for Bloodsail Wreakage. Ran into two Waterlogged Wreakage on the western shore just outside of Bal'lal Ruins at 27,21. I'd say try here first.

Comment by grimman

Bloodsail Wreckage in STV at and , as well as other places.

Comment by 53937

waterlogged wreckage: STV Venture Co Base river 42.9, 20.1

Comment by chilichump

I found the Water-Logged Wreckage in Desolace, around 24/82

Comment by Doomgrip

Today I found my first Schooner Wreckage. I fished the node until it was empty. However, my catch was not registered with the achievement and it did not progress. I don't know if this is a bug in the latest patch, but it certainly is strange.

Comment by 29563

The pools can be found...

Steam Pump Flotsam - Zangermarsh
Schooner Wreckage - Ashenvale, Hillsbrad Foothills, Stonetalon Mountains, Wetlands
Floating Wreckage - Azshara, Tanaris, Feralas
Bloodsail Wreckage - STV south of Grom'Grol
Waterlogged Wreckage - Alterac Mountain, Arathi Highlands, Desolace, Dustwallow Marsh, and STV north of Grom'Grol

Remember that the pools will respawn when other pools are fished up.. if you can't find the wreckage, fish other schools until the wreckage spawns.

Comment by Kestrel

Just fished the Schooner Wreckage off the Southshore dock; first successful cast registered that step of the achievement.

Comment by 49711_

Bloodsail :36.5 and 69.8 in STV

east side of BB

Comment by 49711_

Floating Wreckage 43.9, 46.2 Feralas

Comment by november

Waterlogged Wreckage can also be found on the "inland river" of Stranglethorn Valley, where Greater Sagefish Schools may usually be found, i.e. from Nesingwary's camp via Lake Nezferiti all the way down to the outlet near Grom'Gol. Mine was at 32,22 (right behind the bridge, where the river opens out into Lake Nezferiti).

Edit: a few minutes later. I got called away from my PC, so my character was still standing where he had been fishing when another Waterlogged Wreckage node spawned nearby (40,22, just the other side of the bridge).

Comment by Flick

The various types of floating wreckage in the old world can be classified by the type of trunks they drop.

Floating Wreckage: Mithril Bound Trunk
Waterlogged Wreckage: Iron Bound Trunk
Schooner Wreckage: Watertight Trunk
Floating Debris (not part of the achievement): Tightly Sealed Trunk.

Click on any of the above links to see where people have fished the corresponding trunks. Happy hunting.

However, all the floating wreckage locations in southern Stranglethorn are replaced by Bloodsail wreckage instead.

Comment by Starkie

Just so everyone is aware:

If you fish into the node, and you fail, any further attempts to fish into the node, even if successful, will not count towards this achievement. You must be successful the first time you fish into it.

Comment by FuxieDK

I finally found my Floating Wreckage at 49.57 52.34 @ Feralas

Comment by 267106

Waterlogged wreckage can also be found along the northwestern coast of STV.

I've cruised the whole coast of all STV for about an hour and have not found any bloodsailed wreckage...

Comment by kalvin

Found Waterlogged Wreckage @ 34,8 in STV

Comment by 224227

Umm i am having a problem with the floating wreckage. I have searched the whole entire coast of Ferelas and no wreckage. any other places it might be?

Comment by 285872

the best place to find Bloodsail Wreckage in STV is at wild shore on the coast line it not that hard to find there.

Comment by 43394

Schooner Wreckage, Stonetalon Mountains. 71,53

Comment by finest

Sharing with you where i found the wreckages/flotsam:

Steam Pump Flotsam: 62.61 on Zangarmarsh, The Lagoon
Bloodsail Wreckage: 24.59 on STV, Bloodsail Compound
Schooner Wreckage: 56.66, on Hillsbrad Foothills, Eastern Strand
Waterlogged Wreckage: 42.16 on STV, Venture Co. Base Camp. It can be hard to find.
Floating Wreckage: 44.41 on Feralas, pretty easy to find.

Happy fishing. :)

Comment by 140758

I had no problem finishing this achievement, thanks to all of your great notes.
I did find that it was much harder to fish all the schools, and much more time consuming. I found plenty of schools just running along the coasts.
If you had not finished your 1k fish or have not gotten your fish finder book I would advise trying that, but if not just run along til you find a school.

Comment by Gargette

I found my Bloodsail Wreckage right inside Booty Bay, as far in as possible. I scoured the two coasts and sadly had no luck but Booty Bay gave me the achievement I needed.

Comment by Wildhorn

All the crate that can contain the fish book. Via the location these crates could be fished, you can more or less find out where to find all the wreckages.

- Steam Pump Flotsam
- Schooner Wreckage
- Floating Wreckage (all but the STV map)
- Bloodsail Wreckage (only the STV map)
- Waterlogged Wreckage

Comment by 218953

Annoyingly, I went from Grom'Gol all the way south and around to the Crystal Shore, but I never spotted a single bit of Bloodsail Wreckage. If I do try and fishout the various schools (mostly Oily Blackmouth of the abundant kind), then a Wreckage should spawn?

Comment by 294737

These things aren't static spawns. They can appear anywhere along the coast. Both of you are correct.

Comment by wallix

I spent a good hour looking for schooner wreckage. I finally found a node that was on the north-end of the beach in Wetlands.

Comment by 134422

According to this fishing site I found, the names of the wreckage were changed in 3.0. That is why a lot of this information is outdated. I spent many hours looking for floating wreckage in the places given here.

Here are the only known updated locations:
Floating Wreckage: can only be found in Ashara, Feralas, and Tanaris.
Steam Pump Flotsam: Zangarmarsh.
Bloodsail Wreckage: found in coastal waters around Grom'Gol Base Camp.
Waterlogged Wreckage: Stranglethorn Vale, Alterac Mountains, Arathi Highlands, Desolace, Dustwallow Marsh
Schooner Wreckage: Ashenvale, Hillsbrad Foothills, Stonetalon Mountains, Wetlands

Wreckages are trackable by ability to find fish.

Comment by 223121

After looking for 20 minutes and giving up on Schooner wreckage in Wetlands, I happened to find one right next to the Theramore boat :)

Floating Wreckage was the hardest for me to find. Loads of "Teeming Oily Blackmouth" "Teeming Firefin Snapper" and "Stonescale Eel Swarm" but no wreckage.

Finally found one in Azshara HERE

stv wreckage at 29.24

Comment by 283808

the BEST place to find the Bloodsail Wreckage is at the Ruins of Aboraz in STV.

Easiest way to get there is to follow the eastern coast from the Entrance to Booty Bay north.
I found 2 wreckages there.

Comment by Sandos

Remind yourself of the fact that all wreckages will disappear for the duration of the fishing contest each sunday from 2-4 pm, as they are replaced with schools of tastyfish.

Comment by 18785

In theramore i found a waterlogged wreckage at 56, 16. Had to beat a murloc to death with my fishing pole before i could start fishing though.

You are not the only one that remembers this.

Dark Legacy Comics also remembers how the boat ended up in Stonetalon.

Found schooner wreckage right off the docks at Menethil Harbor. Even for a Horde, easy to get to. :)

Comment by 108694

If you can't find the pool you're looking for, fish up the other pools in hope that the one you need will spawn. I had to spend about 20 minutes or so fishing up every pool between Grom'Gol Base Camp & Booty Bay for the Bloodsail Wreckage to spawn. When it finally did, it was at the inlet North of Gurubashi Arena.

I ve found BloodSail Wreckage at 24,59

Comment by 242255

Remember that you need to -successfully- fish from the school in order for this to count. If you fish out gray-quality junks, it's not counted. :)

Comment by 116998

I didn't have any trouble finding most of them, except the Bloodsail Wreckage - i was looking too far north.

Bloodsail Wreckage: STV - Northwest of Gurubashi Arena 27, 44

Comment by mcmagi

If you cannot find the schooner wreckage in Stonetalon, start fishing up the oil spills instead. Eventually, a schooner wreckage should spawn in one of those places. This worked for me.

Comment by 483447

waterlogged wreckage located on dreadmurk shore (60,18).

Comment by 469464

Found my Bloodsail Wreckage at 37,65 just as described. To easy!

Comment by 175354

My strat is to always keep my fishing pole on me and not think about the achievement. Then when I spot a node it's more like "oh looky there, some wreckage. Guess I'll stop and fish something out of it for that chieve I tell myself I am casually pursuing..."

I call it the strat of least aggravation.

Comment by 330339

Schooner Wreckage - Stonetalon Mountains (68.6, 41.3)

Comment by 94623

Found waterlogged wreckage in STV in the river northwest of Nesingwary's Expedition.

Comment by irspud

You have to fish the existing holes out so the other types of fishing holes come up. It doesn't matter what type of fish is in the hole, fish it out so the next type of fishing spot will come up. I fished out 4 spots of oily blackmouth and then backtracked where I just fished and in between the spots a waterlogged wreckage hole showed up. I continued to do this and found 3 waterlogged wreckages and 4 bloodsail all in about 45 minutes off the coast of STV around Grom'gol base camp. As long as you remove the sites that are in the area, no matter where or what it is, the ones you want will eventually come up. Plus I didn't have to run up and down the coast looking for spots. The same strategy worked for all the types of wreckages I needed for the achievement. If you don't need that kind of fish you can always sell it on the AH. So I recommend following this strategy for a quick success. This applies to the entire world of warcraft. Also in finding these wreckages I got 11 iron bound chests and a lot of stuff in them. I hope this helps.

Comment by turboteckel

Does the Bloodsail Wreckage still exist in 3.3? I can't find it anywhere along the coast of STv or south of GG.

Comment by 92924

I found my waterlogged wreckage in Theramore at the Northwatch hold 64,56 after spending many hours in STV trying to find it. Definately try Theramore first!

Comment by 126811

Floating Wreckage @ 41.9, 39.5

Comment by 384792

I found lots of Bloodsail Wreckage on the East coast of Stranglethorn Vale, North of Booty Bay. But be sure to fish the regular schools too. In my experience, the wreckage shows up a lot after depleting the regular schools.

Comment by 36547

I had a lot of trouble finding the Bloodsail Wreckage. I looked over by Grom'gol and the Arena, but it wasn't there for me. Another website mentioned that the Bloodsail Wreckage also sometimes spawns at the 2 Bloodsail camps (NW of BB, and E of BB), but I didn't find it there either. Finally, I checked on the east coast and found the Bloodsail Wreckage over by the Ruins of Aboraz. Elixirs of Water Walking helped a lot - I just mounted up and rode on the water. Don't give up!

Comment by Cheesecaker

Found two Steam Pump Flotsam nodes in Marshlight Lake. One was at (21.47,40,16), off the coast of the center island. The other was at (19.98,35.94), on the northwest coast. The second node, however, was in shallow water and I was unable to fish from it!

BTW.. I walked whole beach on east coast of Tanaris and found nothing! So spawn must be rare!
Good luck fishing maniacs ;)

Comment by 48341

So if you go through a certain area and can find nothing but fish schools, start fishing those damned schools of fishes. Sooner or later a wreckage would spawn instead of a fish school and there you go...
