Old Stone Wharf Archeological Site, Archaeological site in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, United States.
The Old Stone Wharf Archeological Site preserves the remains of an 18th-century wharf in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, part of the Smyrnea Settlement founded by Dr. Andrew Turnbull. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on July 10, 2008, under the multiple property submission for the settlement's archeological resources.
The wharf was built in the 18th century as part of a colonial settlement founded by European settlers on the Florida coast. The settlement was abandoned as trade routes and economic patterns shifted over time.
The site belongs to the Archeological Resources of the 18th-Century Smyrnea Settlement of Dr. Andrew Turnbull, a Multiple Property Submission to the National Register. It is named for the Smyrnea colony that Turnbull, a Scottish physician, led on the Florida coast in the 1760s.
The site sits along the coast and is easy to reach from nearby roads in New Smyrna Beach. Visitors can view the structures from walking paths, and information signs help explain what they are seeing.
The site is listed in the National Register under the Archeological Resources of the 18th-Century Smyrnea Settlement of Dr. Andrew Turnbull Multiple Property Submission, a grouping that ties the wharf to the wider colonial settlement rather than treating it as an isolated ruin.
