Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Brown's Ferry vessel is a shipwrecked colonial vessel. Based on an analysis of artifacts found on the wreck, it sank sometime between 1730 and 1740 in the Black River, near a place known as Brown's Ferry, which is in the general vicinity of Georgetown, South Carolina. The ship was apparently a merchant cargo vessel, and was not obviously associated with the ferry operation. At the time of its discovery, the wrecked vessel was judged to provide a unique view into the shipbuilding industry of the southern British colonies of North America. The ship was more than Шаблон:Convert in length and Шаблон:Convert wide. It had a Шаблон:Convert hold, a draft of 2'10", and an estimated capacity of 30 tons. It was built of oak, pine, and cypress planking. She had a flat bottom and no keel. When she sank her principal cargo was a load of bricks.[1]

The vessel was excavated and raised in 1976,[1] and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[2] It is now on display at the Rice Museum in Georgetown.
