Marcus Hook Preservation Society gets help

MARCUS HOOK — Bet the pirates, the settlers and the Founding Fathers didn’t see this one coming.
With a rapidly growing stash of artifacts to handle — more than 30,000 at last count — workers at Marcus Hook’s Plank House were in need of a new computer to assist with cataloging and tracking the pottery, tools, weapons and more being pulled from the ground at the archeological dig site on Market Street. Enter the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce and Vynamic, a Philadelphia-based health care industry management consulting firm, which earlier this month donated a laptop computer — and a little technological know-how from TechGuides — to the Marcus Hook Preservation Society.
“This is a dream come true,” said Michael Manerchia, president of the board of directors of the preservation society and a borough council member. “With this computer and the artifact library donated by Sun Foundation, we are on our way to preserving and protecting each little piece of history that comes out of the ground at the Marcus Hook Plank House.”
The Plank House, which dates back to the 17th century, has been long rumored to be the home of a woman named Margaret, a mistress of the famous pirate Blackbeard, and the surrounding area along the Delaware River played a key strategic role during the Revolutionary War.
