During
the summer of 2000, the American
Battlefield Protection Program awarded East Carolina University's Program in Maritime
Studies a grant to conduct a Phase II archaeological survey of a potential Revolutionary
War shipwreck. The vessel is believed to be a transport associated with the
Penobscot Expedition of 1779, and is located in the lower Penobscot River at Devereaux
