Synopsis

An historic shipwreck lies just off a remote beach near Harlech Castle, Wales. It sank in 1709, but we still do not know the name of the ship. Cannon, marble blocks and 15th Century coins have been discovered. The wreck was found some fifty years ago and the authorities were notified. The Welsh Assembly for Wales, designated the whole area a Protected Site, yet forbade the original finders from doing any underwater excavation. Despite not being able to look for more objects, a museum at Barmouth has been set up with help from Gwynedd County Council to display some of the artefacts found. This book tells the story of how the wreck was found, why it was designated under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973, the artefacts so far discovered and the research done to identify the ship’s nationality and name. All proceeds of this book go to the Sailors’ Institute, Barmouth, a charity whose members help to keep the Ty Gwyn Museum open.
