Quedah Merchant

Quedah Merchant

The "Quedah Merchant" was a ship used by Captain Kidd.

Possible Discovery of the Quedah Merchant

In December 2007, just off the coast of Catalina Island in the Dominican Republic, the remains of a historic shipwreck were discovered and subsequently investigated by archaeologists from Indiana University. While investigations are in a very early stage, some evidence suggests this shipwreck might be the "Quedah Merchant," which had been abandoned by Captain Kidd in the 17th century.
