For years, storms along the Alabama coast have often exposed the wreckage of a sailing ship

I have an idea. Why don't you guys dig the sucker up and haul it into a shelter where you can examine it at your leisure? I mean, geez. You could get some Porkulus funds, probably.

There are local legends that describe the ship as a rum runner seeking to smuggle liquor ashore during Prohibition

Maybe Teddy's long lost family yacht.

Huh. Not readily finding it at shipwreckcentral.com

There are local legends that describe the ship as a rum runner seeking to smuggle liquor ashore during Prohibition, but Bailey said he did not know of any records to support the theory.

Dibs on the salvage!

Too cool! We were at Ft. Morgan 2 summers ago, touring the historic fort there - just amazing, swimming with the kids, caught a bull shark - it was a blast. IIRC, there was some wreckage on the beach at that time. When my husband was a kid he lived in Mobile. His father used to take him metal detecting around Ft. Morgan looking for Civil War artifacts. I know he lived down there when Camille came through. I’ll have to ask if he remembers the unearthed ships.

Thanks for posting this article!

Geez, there are dozens of ships exposed here in NW Mich. after a big blow.
Most of them were cargo vessels, who held basic staples. But,occasionally there were genuine treasure ships that came aground.
They are still out there.
