covered il. It's armament comprised
five cannon and two mortars. can
non balls and bomb shells were found
in large numbers. The boat is very
old one. and there is much speculation
as to how long it has been IN the
ground. The impression IS that lhe
boat was run up into this region about
16o0 when a much larger proportion OF
the State was under water. The gun
boat was found directly on Birch Coo
lev Creek. which at that time was no
doubt a ravigable river.
