Plenty of wrecks off the coast of Vietnam. Every storm there's tons of ancient pottery shards washing up on the beaches.

It appears the individual was beaten severely after he poked his head in the window of the car and asked,"How far is the old Stump Inn?"

LOL. Ok you got me, Capn Dom.

At the mouth of Stump Pass is a long sand bar. That is the actual remains of the wreck bearing south to north. The ship came in sideways and as it tumbled over it spilled the gold chests.

I'd have to get the state park boundry set in Google Earth to see whether it is in or outside the park.

While I have no interest in Stump Pass, I did run across some resources for those who might be interested in Joe's site.
Map of the boundaries found here: https://www.floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/stump-pass-beach-state-park

This rather cool paper with maps from 1884 to present in the back...worth the look for those who are interested:

Old thread about the same seven chests:

GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Also looks like the mouth of the pass was farther up the island at the time of any alleged chests. Looks like current position of pass was closed in those days ?
