(Yes\, years before CSS Hunley.) Unlike more daunting expeditions to find boats sunk deep in the ocean\, this one lies but some twenty feet down in the muddy riverbank of a tributary of the Delaware.

This was the brainchild of an immigrant French inventor\, Brutus de Villeroi; a second\, smaller anomaly may well be his 1837 boat\, which we know he brought with him to this country.  He will be presenting on its history and the challenges of finding it now. \nMuseum Member Exclusive: email tfolkmier@silversidesmuseum.org for the Zoom link \nVeterans\, Active Duty\, and Members FREE!Event is included with price of admission for all guests.
