| Summary: | This paper presents the record of a survey carried out on the Cathole Cliff wreck site in 1990. The potential of the site as an 18th-century trade vessel Dragon is discussed. Artefacts including nine cannon and two bar shot along with an additional cannon and wood samples taken during a later survey support this hypothesis. Shipping records show Dragon to have traded regularly between London and Jamaica. Contemporary newspaper reports and burial records show that the children of the Chambers family were on board, possibly travelling to England due to the Seven Years’ War putting Jamaica at threat. |
