This is the second of two wrecks grounded close together within the confines of Dixon Cove which is located between French Harbour and Coxen Hole.
Stories about the ships abound; some claim one ship, with a cargo of lumber, ran aground in a storm. The second ship came to assist, and also ended up on the reef. The lumber was off-loaded in a futile attempt to save the ship, and was collected by local residents.
I will probably never know the true story about either of these two wrecks, but perhaps the next time I go to Roatan I may find one of the older residents who does know the truth.
I will post this painting at a later date once I have it completed.
