A selection of the artifacts recovered from the hold of a War of 1812 vessel in the Patuxent River, Maryland. The closed-deck sailing ship is believed to be either Barney's flagship Scorpion or the hired schooner Islet. In addition to the medical artifacts, personal items, such as a clay pipe and tin cup, were found, along with military paraphernalia, such as the iron vent pick in the center of the grouping.
