The Picture Gallery

These pages contain the first underwater pictures of the wooden wreck in Filey Bay conjectured to be that of the Bonhomme Richard. There are at least three large pieces of wreckage on the site and these pictures relate to the largest piece, which is the side of a wooden ship laid with its outside on the seabed.

The pictures are the copyright of John Adams and thanks are given to the Filey Bay Initiative who have provided substantial  resources and funding to assist the investigation into the site and to enable this work to be progressed. The gallery presentation has been made possible by the Heritage Lottery Funding to the Filey Bay Initiative.

These two pictures show the ship's structure on the North East edge of the wreck, looking in a southerly direction and in the area of the broken metal tube believed to be a hawse pipe.
