Maritime archaeologists have discovered the true identity of a hulk in Hooe Lake, Plymouth.
A team of maritime archaeologists has discovered the true identity a large wooden ship hulk buried in Hooe Lake, on the outskirts of Plymouth.The hulk has now been identified by The Ships Project as the John Sims, a Westcountry schooner.The Ships Project is a volunteer non-profit organisation that undertakes research and exploration of maritime historical sites and events, both on land and underwater.
The letter - kept in John Cotton's maritime archives - identified this ship as the schooner John Sims. "We now have all of this fabulous history and a picture of what she looked like when she was afloat, so it all kind of comes together, and we're putting together a book on this and now we have the name of a really interesting wreck," Ms Haas said.
In 1893, the ship was sold to Thomas Stevens of Bursledon, near Southampton, then, in 1900, it was sold to Richard Foster of Gloucester and it was reregistered at that port.
