The remains of this wooden sailing cargo vessel were found buried in the Black River near Georgetown. In the summer of 1976 they were removed to a conservation lab in Columbia for preservation and study. One maritime expert at the time considered this to be the most important nautical discovery in the United States. - AsNotedIn
