Save to your city mapThe Amsterdam is a VOC (Dutch East India Company) ship from 1748. The ship first set sail in 1749 with 203 passengers and 27 crates of silver pieces (which would have been worth several milions now). Unfortunately, the Amsterdam experienced problems in the English Channel after tacking into a strong westerly storm. For many days she did not sail further than Beachy Head near Eastbourne. Finally, her rudder broke off, and the ship, which was helpless in the storm, grounded in the mud and sand in the bay of Bulverhythe in January 1749. She began to sink into the mud, where much of the keel remains perfectly preserved toad. Some of the cargo, including the silver coins, were removed for safekeeping by the local authorities. In 1969, the Amsterdam was discovered after being exposed by a low spring tide. A replica of the ship was built by 400 volunteers using tools of the period, between 1985 and 1990, and is moored next to the Netherlands Maritime Museum.
