Steve Andrews Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Royal Navy 44-gun fifth-rate HMS Severn wrecked on my local beach in 1804, a few months before the Battle of Trafalgar. I found this great copper keel staple from her recently. I'm in Jersey, Channel Islands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsb Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 That's a piece of history for sure! Talk about a high conductor, how deep was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Bach Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 That's a great relic/artifact that some people may not really have an appreciation for. And the buckle that you posted over on the D2 forum is super nice as well.That's some beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCR Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 That is a special find for sure. I assume that the Royal Navy salvaged what they could from the wreck but left the hull? Some of the best(and most difficult to obtain in the USA) pipe tobacco is manufactured on your islands, J F Germain. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
