The Schiedam, a Dutch merchant ship that sunk in 1684, was first rediscovered in 1971 by divers near the coast of Cornwall in the south-west of the UK at a depth of 4 to 7 meters (13 to 22 feet). Now, even more of the ship’s story has been revealed after a series of storms in the area shifted the seabed, washing some of its cargo ashore.
