| Summary: | The Deadman’s Island (8SR782) and Town Point (8SR983) shipwrecks are unidentified vessel remains that were archaeologically investigated and interpreted as small stripped and abandoned vessels from the British Occupational Period of Pensacola (1763–1781). The wrecks are located in an 18th-century British Royal Navy careenage called Old Navy Cove at the landform known as Deadman’s Island near Gulf Breeze, Florida. Contemporary documents, both reanalysed and 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 Florida’s attendant shallop. |
