The WRECKED! exhibit has a fresh new look thanks to a grant from Americana Corner! ⚓✨ In 2009, Lighthouse archaeologists discovered a shipwreck off the coast of St. Augustine. Through careful excavation, the wreck revealed powerful insight into a turbulent chapter of history. In celebration of America’s 250th, this story links St. Augustine directly to the final chapter of the American Revolution, revealing the city’s role as a place of refuge and loss at the war’s end.
The updated exhibit panels are installed, bringing new stories and research to life. Be sure to check out the interactive exhibition when you visit.
A heartfelt thank you to the Americana Corner Preserving Americana Grant for making these updates possible. This support helps our nonprofit museum continue sharing powerful maritime American history. americanacorner
