Last week the surveyors of Hubel Marine had to attend the 1964 built vessel Terschelling with Panama flag in a Dutch shipyard. This unique vessel is privately owned by a British Dive expert . The vessel is exclusively being used for special historical wreckage recovery projects.
In co-operation with Tos Ship Delivery Service the vessel was delivered from Zwijndrecht to Ramsgate, U.K. where the new expedition crew would join the vessel.
The next archaeological project this summer is the shipwreck ‘Rooswijk’ which was discovered by a diver on the Goodwin Sands near Deal. The project, run by the Dutch Cultural Heritage Agency in partnership with Historic England, involves mapping the ship and securing any archaeological material.
The ship had been on its way to the East Indies with valuable cargo including silver ingots and coinage when it sank on the sandbank on January 8, 1740.
