shipwreck

I received this pottery jar from my uncle who found it on the beach in the US Virgin Islands after a storm in the 1950s. He collected seashells, net floats and anything that washed up while he lived there. I don' know what it is or what it is worth. On the "What is it" forum, someone suggested...

On November 27, 1960, the Liberian freighter Francisco Morazan came to grief at the south end of South Manitou Island, Lake Michigan, in a blinding snowstorm. There are some 150 shipwrecks in The Manitou Passage - from the Fox Islands to South Manitou, and between the Manitous and the mainland...

I am always particularly interested in sunken treasure stories that are new - the stories that are more than just re-hashes and repeats of the tired sea yarns. Some years ago while reading Capt. William Bligh's book I came across: Friday 9. [1789] This day anchored in the road the General...

Hello, all. I have enjoyed the photos on this site for a couple of years now. Forgive me for lurking and in advance for any newbie breaches of forum etiquette. I have gathered quite a few "treasures" over my years, but very little official knowledge as far as identification for a lot of them. I...

[THIS THREAD HAS BEEN SOLVED] Hello TreasureNet community, I've recently posted this same query to another forum and this was one of the places to which I was referred that might yield better results in my identification of this piece that I came across in an old collection of mine. I will...

HELLO FORUM! I was directed here by the WHAT IS IT? forum. My name is Charlie G. & I own Joy's House (www.joyshouse.info); a sober house for girls I opened in my daughter's memory. To help support it, I go to & bid on storage auctions (yep, like the TV ahows!), then sell the things we find at...

Hello all! I won a storage auction that was full of items that appear to gave been brought up from a shipwreck! The jar (which still has 80% of it's cap) is holding what appears to be musket balls - it is VERY heavy. But what I can't be sure of is the clump of what looks like more musket balls...

A mate of mine found this, didn't say where and it looked interesting so I took a couple of pics - he doesn't really do the internet. Anyway, from looking through google it seems to be some kind of escudo, possible an 8 escudo piece? I would really appreciate an expert opinion on year and any...

Hope this isn't old news. This is one I've been expecting to be found for years. Hope the legends are true! Congrats to the finder! :hello2: Cargo of gold and whiskey fuels legend of the Westmoreland, famous shipwreck discovered by diver from Grand Rapids | MLive.com

Directly seaward of the Sunrise water tower, in about 60-65 feet of water, lies the wreck of the yacht Monomy. The Monomy is pretty much a flat wreck, just a big debris field, but is, at least was, covered with copper coated bronze shipbuilding pins, bronze/brass valves, and assorted other cool...

Ive been exploring Canvey Island, in Essex, UK and came across a patch of ground covered in very old rusted nails and fixings, a hinge etc. The area is outside a Yacht Club, where there is shallow water and mad flats. The only explanation i can come up with is that a ship wreck used to be there...

Hi guys, just signed up today but I do have a bit of related experience. I'm a former shipwreck diver and dive boat captain, lots of wreck experience but unable to dive now due to a back injury. Also have some research and publications to my credit: Three years (1991-1993) research into...

Hey guys, I thought I'd let you in on my shipwreck database project for Google Earth. (See attachment) I have been looking for a good resource that showed where all the "known" shipwrecks in Southern California are for diving or other purposes. Right now it is very basic right now and all the...
