Princess Charlotte

As a few of you may have been introduced to the Princess Charlotte as the Prince Regent. I was introduced a while ago to the remains of the ship in Dead mans bay located off of the marina as the Prince Regent. After s few members questioning this and a few say, they having heard Johnathan Moore (marine archaeologist) talk saying it was something else I emailed him for clarification. This was his response:
Thank you for your message. The wreck southwest of the marina is definitely not the frigate Kingston (ex Prince Regent, 60 guns). The Kingston (ex Prince Regent) is at the head of the bay. The wreck southwest of the marina is almost certainly the frigate Burlington (ex Princess Charlotte, 42 guns). Both were launched April 14, 1814 as Prince Regent and Princess Charlotte respectively, but after the War of 1812 they were renamed Kingston and Burlington. The error of identifying the wreck southwest of the marina dates back to a paper written by professor Richard Preston in 1952 in which incorrect measurements of the wrecks were employed to identify the wrecks. I have recently completed a report on my research on the Warships of 1812at Kingston. It is called "Archaeological and Historical Investigations of Three War of 1812 Wrecks at Kingston ...". Copies have been sent to the RMC Museum (Attn. Ross McKenzie), Queen's University, and the Cataraqui Archaeological Research Foundation. Also, I sent a copy to the Limestone Dive Centre and Northern Tech Diver. I plan on printing more copies of the report. If you or anyone at the club is interested, I'll add you to my list. With best wishes, Jonathan

There is more of a history to the bay too. Before the death of workers coming back it was known as Hamilton cove. It also had a quarry in it during the late 1800's
