Lost off Lewes: The H.M.S. DeBraak

Limited seats are available for this program which includes a visit to the conservation facility to see remains of the DeBraak shipwreck.

The H.M.S Debraak sunk off the coast of Lewes in 1798, and was dramatically salvaged by treasure hunters in the 1980's. The Zwaanendael Museum's "Lost of Lewes" program details the history of the Debraak, its tragic sinking, and the discovery of the ship almost 200 years later.

This program includes a lecture, followed by a visit to the conservation facility where the remains of the shipwreck are held. Transportation to the conservation facility is being provided by the Lewes Line. Learn more about the Lewes Line here:https://www.ci.lewes.de.us/363/Lewes-Line
