HMS Feversham

HMS Feversham

HMS "Feversham" was a 32-gun fifth rate warship. She was built at Shoreham, United Kingdom in 1696, and shipwrecked with the loss of 102 lives on 7 October 1711 during a voyage from New York to Quebec, to participate in The Walker Expedition to Quebec.

The wreck is at Scatterie Island, 20 miles from Louisbourg. The wreck was located and identified in 1996. Treasure hunters recovered significant numbers of coins and silverware. A exhibit about the wreck is on display at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
