Discover La Belle

Artifacts from the La Belle Shipwreck Collection are on display at eight museums across Texas, but there are thousands of artifacts in storage that the public never gets to see. With support from the Texas Historical Commission, the Corpus Christi Museum staff is working to inventory and store the collection during 2010. This blog will allow the public to follow the project. We hope you enjoy seeing the artifacts never displayed and learning the untold stories of this famous shipwreck!
