HMS Culloden
The British ship HMS Culloden ran aground here in 1781 while pursuing a French frigate. To keep it from falling into enemy hands, the British threw the cannons overboard and burned the ship. HMS Culloden was a Royal Navy third-rate ship of the line built in Deptford in 1776. ...
The wreck was discovered in the 1970s when portions of it washed ashore (reports indicate that some of the washed up debris had been used for beach campfires). One of the canons is on display at the East Hampton Marine Museum in Amagansett, New York which has an extensive display of Culloden artifacts. Amagansett is a census-designated place and hamlet located in Suffolk County, New York. ...
Other canons are still on the bottom close to shore and about 20 to 25 feet below the surface. The wreck is protected on the National Register of Historic Places and now is the first underwater park on Long Island, New York. The park is accessible on a single lane gravel road at the west end of Soundview Drive. Divers use a large rock with pebbles on top of it to the north of the bluff stairs as the landmark for reaching the wreck. They follow a heading of 333 degrees. It's about 150 feet off shore. The debris field is marked by buoys. The National Register of Historic Places is the USAs official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects worthy of preservation. ...
