Great video & very interesting look back in your island’s history. Please keep us updated. All the best from the island on the western coast of Canada.
Looks like your drone work has caught the attention of the world, Mr Purchase. I just became aware of the shipwreck on a Canadian Press article. You'll have the scientific community banging on your door & the door of your community, in the weeks ahead. Super haunting/lonely music that fits perfectly. Oh, and BTW...a great halibut video as well.
You can see waves crashing over what appears to be the sunken ship shape in Google Earth at coordinates 47°37'28.49"N, 59°16'18.94"W. Everything about the scene in the video is matched by the coordinates. And the smaller craft is there as well. Be sure to turn on the terrain layer to see the mountains.
Very intersting. Looks early 19th century or perhaps late 18th. My guess would be a European built vessel which has been patched and repaired with American White Oak.
Yep. I'd say late 1700s/Early 1800s. It looks like European oak patched with American white oak... that might suggest pre Revolutionary War, or an older vessel which survived or was captured and repaired in the first quarter of the 19th century. Hull shape defo reminiscent of a cargo vessel of that era. Very interesting indeed! :)
There's a decent chance this is the Bounty (1960) that sunk off North Carolina during hurricane Sandy (2012). I know the currents aren't favorable for a Cape Ray beaching, but it's still possible.
Lots of different Europeans sailed around Newfoundland and Labrador after the time of the Vikings. Who knows what this is or if it is even definitely identifiable?
@@dinkster1729 It looks like a sizeable cargo type vessel of the late 1700s to early 1800s. LIkely European oak construction with American white oak patches visible. Definitely NOT a Viking ship.
