The author draws on archival and archaeological research to chart the ship’s origins, the voyages and passengers it carried (including families that became early New England settlers), its final storm-driven fate near the Pemaquid settlement, and the decades-long search for its remains.

Why it matters locally: The wreck of the Angel Gabriel links deeply to the early colonial and maritime heritage of Pemaquid Peninsula, including the story of New Harbor, John’s Bay, and the region’s role in the 17th-century Atlantic world. The title is a valuable addition to your historical-society resources or website’s “Local Heritage & Shipwrecks” section.
