Here's a wreck I found on the beach at Currigee, South Stradbroke Island, however I can't find a name for it.
I also noticed that the wreck of the Marloo off Fraser Island hadn't been added to the collection so I put another placemark for it in this post.

Maybe you will be interested in this web site on Florida shipwrecks. I was looking for an old shipwreck in Rivera Beach which was no longer there when I found it.
http://www.electricbluefishing.com/shipwrecks_of_florida.htm
Please note that some of the above are ships that have been sunk on purpose to creat artificial reefs for fishing. You can even find NUESTRA SRA DE LA ATOCHA which MEL FISHER made famose a few years ago for the gold and jewels he found.

I have forgotten to thank you for all the information you have provided on visible Shipwreck. It is a very important part of history of this planet. I am so surprise that you in Holand would be interested in such subject. As you note, Florida, USA is a mecca for Ship Wrecks. You even found the ones in Cuba.
Just for your information, I never been to Holland but I have been to some of it's territory in the Caribbean. Here is a couple of locations I have been to:
SABA
San Marteen, island divided between France and Hollan
web page
Hope this grabs your attention. I am sure that there is a lot of wrecks in the caribbean.

Maybe a ship wreck?
10° 4'45.86"S 47°43'47.98"E
Astove has a very tumultuous history of shipwrecked people and others cut off from the outside world. In 1700 the Portuguese slave ship Don Royal was shipwrecked on Astove. The captain and crew set off for Africa in the ship’s longboat and were never seen again. The slaves, however, established the world’s first black republic on the atoll and managed to evade capture for 25 years. Eventually these people were subdued and taken away from Astove in a ship that also wrecked, and no one survived.
In 1836 the Tiger was wrecked on Astove and Major W. Stirling, the master of the ship, lived on Astove until he was rescued. During his sojourn on the island he kept up the log of the ship, recording in it the presence of pied crows and a little brown bird that appears to be the Malagasy cisticola, which is still found on Astove today.
