| Abstract/Description: | The Centerboard Schooner is a late 19th-century wreck located on the Blackwater River near Milton, Florida. Students from the University of West Florida investigated this site during the 2010 and 2011 maritime field schools. Excavations on the Centerboard Schooner provided evidence that this vessel was most likely abandoned before the 20th-century. The schooner's size and archaeological data suggest that it was built on the Gulf Coast. Other regional shipwrecks identified as schooners were used in comparison to better understand the role that this schooner played in the maritime economy. The Blackwater River is rich with maritime history. Historical documentation indicates that this schooner may have been a casualty of Confederate actions during the American Civil War. Archaeological and historical data suggest that the Centerboard Schooner operated during the middle to late 19th century as a regional merchant vessel. | |
