[Verginius Rufus]

One of my ancestors died in a shipwreck in 1748, probably in the Adriatic Sea.

A Historical Shipwreck

as opposed to a ‘normal shipwreck.;

What is the difference?

Historical had cannons.

‘Normal’ has AR’s.

I had at least a couple of ancestors that had close calls -- one had the ship go down but survived (his sister didn't), the other (much earlier) fell overboard during the trip across the Atlantic. Whew, that was close.
