Maple Leaf, Civil War archaeological site in Duval County, United States.
The Maple Leaf wreck rests at the bottom of the St. Johns River, containing extensive collections of Civil War artifacts and military equipment.
The Union transport vessel Maple Leaf sank on April 1, 1864, after striking a Confederate mine while returning from a supply mission to Palatka.
The recovered artifacts from the wreck site provide detailed information about the daily lives of Union soldiers during the American Civil War.
