Long-lost Armenian ship, the stuff of legend, to become a “living museum” in the Caribbean
Off the coast of the Dominican Republic, researchers are studying a newly discovered wreck that is very likely an Armenian merchant ship captured in 1698 by British privateer Captain William Kidd. The Armenian Nautical Association is collaborating with researchers from the University of Indiana who are studying the wreck and transforming it into a living museum. The Armenian Reporter’s Emil Sanamyan reports from the Caribbean.
