Reconstruction of the Pillar Dollar Wreck, BIscayne National Park, Florida
Author(s): William L Fleming
Year: 2016
Summary
The PIllar Dollar wreck is well-known to treasure salvors and looters, but has only recently been investigated in an archaeological sense. East Carolina University's Program in Maritime Studies conducted an excavation of the site for the Program's 2014 Fall Field School in September. With the knowledge garnered from that project, as well as previous condition reports and treasure salvor guides, this project aims to reconstruct the vessel and learn about its origins and use. The final result will be two models representing the ship, one as it may have looked in the mid-eighteenth century, and one as it remains today,
