Rooswijk Shipwreck Coins
The
Dutch East Indiaman Rooswijk, under the command of Captain Daniel
Ronzieres,
was lost on December 19th, 1739 after striking the treacherous Goodwin
Sands off the South East coast of England in a heavy storm. The
ship had just departed the Dutch port of Texel the previous day on her
second voyage to the spice islands of Indonesia, carrying a large
quantity of Spanish silver intended for trade and payroll in the Dutch
East Indies. She sank with the lost of all hands. The shipwreck and her treasure was
discovered 265 later by Ken Welling, a British carpenter and sport
diver, while swimming over the area in 2004. Salvage operations,
conducted under the supervision of archaeologist Alex Hildred, has
produced vast amounts of Spanish pillar dollars, cob coins, and silver
bars most of which were returned to the Netherlands government.
Certificates
of Authenticity accompany all shipwreck treasure coins. View a
