Is Cannon Street dock Theodosia tradition haunted?

The record holds 1 claim, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

The dock is the boarded — the 'Patriot' that's the schooner's name, the 'New Year's Eve' that's the sailing's date. The 'son dead' is the broken — the 'malaria' that's the fever's form, the '10 years' that's the child's age. The 'never found' is the vanished — the 'pirates' that's the theory's one, the 'storm' that's the other's name.

The 'gray dress' is the seen — the 'Debordieu' that's the beach's name, the 'rice steps' that's the walk's path. The 'father disgraced' is the burdened — the 'Burr' that's the parent's name, the 'treason trial' that's the family's stain. The dock is the kept — the 'brick warehouse' that's the waiting's site, the 'legend' that's the town's ghost.

The file keeps the dock: the boarded ship, the broken heart, the vanished schooner, and the kept legend.

Cannon Street Dock is the archive's South Carolina file — the last step Theodosia took.
