Photograph of a flintlock pistol held by Thomas Head Raddall over the logbook of the Spanish ship El Hercules

Item, a photograph, has a stamp marking it copyright to the National Film Board on the reverse side. The El Hercules was captured in the Caribbean by a Liverpool privateer around 1799. The flintlock pistol was found behind the wainscot in the house of Dr. Farish. Farish arrived in Liverpool around 1840, the same time when many of the privateermen from the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812 were still living. Dr. Farish's house was later occupied by Dr. John Wickwire between the 1930's to the 1970's. A duplicate copy of the photograph can be found in MS-2-202, Box 54, Folder 10.

Photograph of a man looking at a hole in the keel of a salvaged boat, sitting on a beach at Seal Island with a small crowd of people amassed to observe

An American ship went aground between Seal Island and Blonde Rock during World War II, and steel cargo was thrown overboard in an effort to lighten the vessel for subsequent salvage operations. The ejected steel remains a menace to fishing boats in those waters, where the tide rises and falls with a large margin.
