| Summary: | This article presents a correlation of archaeological and archival evidence on the Saint Nicholas Bay Shipwreck (SNBS), Chernomorets, Bulgaria. While of limited scope, the 2015 underwater rescue excavations produced sufficient conventional data on the vessel’s chronology and sphere of activity, further supplemented by interdisciplinary studies. These data have been correlated with archival sources for ten shipwrecks in the Gulf of Burgas, revealing a close historical parallel of the SNBS to the Italian barquentine Alleanza (ex-Nicolo of Austria-Hungary), built in Fiume in 1865 and driven ashore near Burgas on 8 November, 1875. Deeper investigation provided for a detailed reconstruction of Alleanza’s turbulent career and wrecking, uncovering further analogies and contributing to a hypothesis for identification. |
