Pirate wreck focus for Baltimore Wooden Boat Festival
Research funding is being sought to enable further investigation of the mysterious vessel.
The weekend festival, which begins on May 23 in conjunction with the Baltimore Seafood Festival, will kick off with a lecture on the 17th century vessel which now lies in a uniquely preserved state beneath the seabed in the Long Island channel off the village of Schull. The vessel is complete with a cargo of coconuts bearing the planter’s stamp.
