One study by Texas A&M in the late 1980s suggests the masses are from shipwrecks or piles of ballast stones from Spanish or French vessels.

For nearly five decades, he has captured underwater sonar images that he believes reveal the remnants of major structures. He has also collected granite pieces that he believes once formed the now underwater city.
However, he noted that construction debris only appears on the top surface of the mounds, and granite blocks are expensive construction materials, and would not be discarded so easily.
A separate study conducted by Texas A&M University in the late 1980s also concluded that the underwater granite likely originated from shipwreck activity, or from piles of ballast stones discarded from vessels, WWL-TV reported.
Historians believe the stones may have been dumped from Spanish or French ships to lighten their loads as they approached shallow waters on routes leading to New Orleans.
Local newspaper The Advocate later examined the mystery in 2011, speaking with LSU archaeology professor Rob Mann, who offered another explanation for the unusual formations.
He suggested the granite could be remnants of an effort to build an artificial reef in the 1940s, created by dumping construction materials into the water.Mysterious 'ruins' off Louisiana coast spark theories of 12,000-year-old lost city

I didn't scare up any graphics of bananas, fruitcakes, or moonbats, but don't take the nuts graphic as a touting.
Mentioning where or what St. Bernard is in the title would be nice.
You must be devastated.
Why would that normal request for a thread poster bother you?
In fact, why are all of your responses to positive suggestions from freepers always hostile?
Why are you consistently hostile to me since I haven't done anything hostile to you? I used the original title, which is what we're required to do around here.
You could add what a St. Bernard is, what country it is in, people do that, and you could do it without your always hostile reaction whenever anyone makes any such suggestion on your threads, you always come out swinging at them.
STFU
Where?
St. Bernard is south of New Orleans.
We’ve long had stories of Spanish and French settlements. New Orleans was established as a French colony. And the Spanish were hanging out in the region since before Cortez in the early 1500s.
Anunnaki base ;-)
It is suggested that the stones are Spanish ballast stone.
It should not be too difficult to figure out where the granite came from.
Granite is unique in composition from site to site.
The Spanish were sailing those waters in the 1500's, the French came in around 1699. That area was a haven for pirates and other assorted lowlifes for a long time before and after that. Al Capone used to smuggle rum up from Cuba through there during prohibition. There's no telling what's in those waters, but it's sure not a 12,000 year old space alien city.
Coon asses love a good ghost story and they'll pull your leg until they're laughing so hard inside they can't stand it. Get them liquored off and they'll come up with some really crazy stuff. You can tell the boat captain is having a good time with it.
