TO Pipes from the Dauphine (1704). Clay pipes are a very common find on modern and contemporary shipwrecks, to the point where they can be used as dating tools, since they have a very short lifespan. The initials "TO", found on five pipes from the Dauphine (1704), could be those of the master pipe-maker Thomas Owen, who was active in Bristol between 1698 and 1725. (Ref. : Nat 120 et 326)
