Summary

Description
English: A pewter button from a non-officer member of Britain's 71st Regiment of Foot, popularly known as "Fraser's Highlanders." This regiment was raised in Scotland in 1775 to fight in the American Revolution. This button was discovered in 2012 during underwater archaeological excavations of the Storm Wreck, off the coast of St. Augustine, Florida, by archaeologists working for LAMP (Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program), the research arm of the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Museum. The Storm Wreck is a colonial era shipwreck believed to have been part of the last fleet of Loyalist Refugees and British troops to evacuate Charleston on 18 December 1782. The button was cleaned by electrolytic reduction at the LAMP conservation laboratory. Photograph should be attributed to Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program.
