I know quite alot about her. I know her dimensions. I know where she was built. I know the composition of who is on board her. I know where she was built and by home. I know where they were intending to go and historically why they were headed there. I've done many years of research on her and have even had my hands on first source documents pertaining to this ship. I know that a group claims to have found her. I kmow that this hasn't been verified to date. I know who in New York State Govt to contact about the status of this ship. I know who wrote a book about her and I've spoken to him and I'm proud of his work because I have the same material. I know roughly where she she went done. I know this from the debris that was found and I know the story about the 6 bodies found the following summer. I know about the sails that were found by a ship sent to scour the water for her. I could go on and on. If you would like to talk by phone, post a telephone number that I could call to get your number.
