The Argument For The Identification Of The Deadman's Island Shipwreck And Town Point Shipwreck, Part I - a podcast by Aj Van Slyke

The Deadman’s Island and Town Point Shipwrecks are unidentified wrecks that were archaeologically investigated and interpreted as small stripped and abandoned vessels from the British Occupational Period of Pensacola (1763-1781). The wrecks were in an 18th-century British Royal Navy careenage called Old Navy Cove at the landform known as Deadman’s Island near Gulf Breeze, Florida. Documents rediscovered may prove the Deadman’s Island Wreck to be HMS Florida, the last survey schooner of Royal Surveyor and Cartographer George Gauld, and the Town Point Wreck her attendant shallop.
