The "Brown Wrappers" were a series of articles in the Ft. Lauderdale, Fl sunday newspaper "The Sun-Sentinel". These ran fro 1978-9 to 1982 and four of the articles dealt with the "Oh Kim Soon" and the "Loftous" both of which alledgedly grounded off Manalapan, Fl in 1897-8. I have copied the articles and could e-mail them to you if interested, I and a group of seve others are currently scuba diving the site in hopes of documenting it for the state of Florida and having it designated as the eighth marine archaealogical sit in the state. Any info on either vessel would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Pete Kendrigan
