Abstract:

In the fall of 1998, Hurricane Bonnie brought ashore on Currituck Beach a 58-foot shipwreck remnant. The Underwater Archaeology Unit of the State Historic Preservation Office has documented the remains extensively. The vessel is thought to have been steam-powered and to have gone down in the late 19th-century.
