Artefacts - Clay Pipes![]() ![]() ![]()
Many examples of this artefact, clay pipes, were found on the wreck of the P.S. Lady Sherbrooke. In the period before more durable pipes or alternative forms of tobacco were available many would smoke pipes such as those shown here. Since they were quite fragile they were considered disposable, that is, once they were broken they were tossed aside. This explains why so many fragments were discovered in areas where workers and passengers alike would have occupied during their voyages. |
