do you notice the flats on the frames, to save hollowing the planks

Is the Raw Faith accounted for? ;)

Some of the comments are quite good :D

Do the markings say "Jon En Kate 8"? Thats the only shipwreck I can think of recently.

little epoxy and glass cloth she'll be good as new

Someone needs to answer MiddleAgesMan's question before we go any further. Where is Undercooked Faith these days?

[SamSam]

My first thought was of the Raw Faith, also. The edges of the boards are so sharp, the construction looks almost new.

Rather than wash up on the beach, could it have been uncovered by the storm? The same with the one from before, maybe instead of washing in and washing back out into the ocean, it was uncovered by one storm and covered back up by another.

We had an incident on St. Simons a year or two ago where some guy that lived on the beach got all fired up because someone had, overnight, piled up what had to be hundreds of tons of large, 2-3' boulders all over his beach and he wanted the sob's caught and prosecuted. After about a week of his squawking, it was discovered they'd been put there in 1965 after a hurricane, everybody had forgot about them and a storm had uncovered them.

I believe thats more likely. Hard to imagine thousand pound chunks of ships skipping around the bottom with the tide.

Some of these wrecks do move around. The photo below is of a wreck that has moved at least twice, the latest move was during hurricane Ike.

This one is just east of Fort Morgan, Al.
