1782 copper cooking pot from a Revolutionary War shipwreck! This copper pot was recovered from the 1782 Storm Wreck by the Lighthouse Maritime Archaeologists off the coast of St. Augustine! As part of a set of nested cauldrons, this pot was the smallest and therefore located in the center. Because of its location it was the best preserved. Sometimes, like footprints preserved in rock, conditions can be just right and a little something from the previous owner is left behind. Close to one of the handles, the conservators found a thumbprint!
View the WRECKED! Exhibit, with dozens of shipwreck artifacts, in the Keepers’ House. This is part of the self-guided museum tour. Hours are 9 AM-6 PM seven days a week. Tickets & Details:
