The 944 ton. 4th Rate 60 gun British man-of-war Winchester was built in 1693 at Bursledon by William Wyatt. She was 121 feet long, and she had a 38 foot beam. The Winchester was originally commissioned in 1693 under the command of Captain Edward Bibb. While en route from Jamaica to England, a plaque on board quickly spread throughout her crew, rendering them unable to perform their duties. Her Captain, who was also sick, was put ashore in Jamaica. The Winchester's command was turned over to Captain John Soule. After leaving Port Royal, the crew continued to drop like flies from the scurvy. One report lists only eight able bodied seamen still standing when she was sailed onto a reef on September 24, 1695. A few of her crew including Captain Soule were transferred to another vessel. Captain Soule died later, and unfortunately almost all 400 of her crew were lost. If you purchase this item you will receive a discount on all further purchases.

Shipwreck Artifact HMS Winchester 1695 Bronze Spike with COA
Bronze Bronze Spike# FO-0211 The following is for informational purposes only. None of the items pictured or described below are included in this auction. Display and ballast stones are available for an additional cost. Please see below. Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper. Usually with tin as the main additive. Bronze is superior to just copper, by being harder, being more resistant to corrosion. Bronze bars and spikes were used in the construction of ships from a very early time. With bronze being very expensive compared to iron. Its use was often reserved for flagships or areas of the ship that were not serviceable. Most military ships in the early 1700's primarily used iron fasteners and cannons due to the high cost of bronze. You will however see flagships and the ships of high ranking military personnel using bronze ... moreextensively. Including their cannon. Bronze was a perfect ship building material as it is very strong but does not rust like iron. On our ship we found many iron spikes and nails that had completely deteriorated leaving behind only their empty encrustation. The impression left behind by a lone gone square nail. Typically bronze only oxidizes superficially; once a copper oxide(eventually becoming copper carbonate) layer is formed. The underlying metal is protected from further corrosion. However, if copper chlorides are formed, a corrosion-mode called"bronze disease" will eventually completely destroy it. In rare circumstances reverse electrolysis is needed to preserve bronze. Although the bronze is quite beautiful when cleaned. Many artifact collectors prefer to leave the item as found. We have learned that a long soaking in salt away, followed by numerous baths in distilled water is sufficient for the bronze found at our wreck site. The most popular choice is to clean the artifact 50/50. Leaving half as found. This allows the beauty of both the bronze and the patina of the years on the ocean bottom to be enjoyed.

Shipwreck Artifact HMS Winchester 1695 Lead Sheet with COA FO-0303
Bronze HMS Winchester. 1695 Lead Sheet# FO-0303 Beautiful. Heavy piece. No holes. Low alpha lead. The following is for informational purposes only. None of the items pictured or described below are included in this auction. Lead had many uses in the old world. Its low melting temperature and good strength made it very useful in many applications. Use on the hull. One problem sailors encountered in the day was the shipworm(Teredo navalis) The wood-boring mollusk used the planks of ships’ hulls as a habitat and food source. And could cause significant damage in as little as two years. Sheathing the hull with lead, and later copper, was used to combat this marine enemy. This ship was not sheathed in lead or copper. Lead was also used to patch holes in the hull. And this HMS had numerous patches, the largest being 60lbs with clear sheathing tack ... moreholes and impressions of the ships timbers. Since lead is relatively soft it could be pounded in place and sheathing tacks can easily be driven through it. The process generally was to cover the hole or leak. Caulk, line with canvas, then add a sheet of lead. Fittings Lead was used extensively throughout the ship. Pictured above is a toilet ring and bilge strainer. Bilge strainers like this prevented debris from entering the pumps that were used to remove water from the lowest parts of the ship. Armament. We have found many different calibers of musket and pistol shot including a number of grape shot clusters which were 9 musket balls wrapped in cloth for use in the swivel cannons. Many of the musket balls have clear teeth marks in them giving us a personal connection with the sailors on board. Sailors would chew musket balls to keep their saliva flowing and fend off thirst. 9 musket balls wrapped in cloth to make a grape shot cluster for the swivel guns. Fortunately lead is very resistant to breakdown in salt water and minimal preservation is needed in most cases. All of our lead is very stable.

Post Atocha Era Shipwreck Artifact GENERAL ABBATUCCI 1869 Museum Quality Display
Up for bids is this unique. Antique bronze thimble which was recovered from the shipwreck of the General Abbatucci sunk in an amazing 8000 feet of water off Corsica. SS.GENERAL ABBATUCCI On the 7th May 1869 The General Abbatucci sank in tragic circumstances. She had left her home port of Marseilles the previous day on a routine monthly run to Civitavecchia. Italy, but on this trip, as well as the normal trade shipments, she was said to have been carrying a much more exciting cargo. It was thought to have consisted of several million French francs destined for the Vatican, gifts for the birthday of Pope Pius IX from Church officials in France, and possible pay for the French army in Italy. Her passengers included many powerful dignitaries and wealthy merchantmen. Some with their families, a group of Pontifical guards, and the Pontifical Consul ... morerepresenting the Holy See in Marseilles, who was returning to Rome. Sadly this particular voyage was to be short-lived. During the early hours of the morning the 282-ton 12 year old ship was involved in a collision 24 miles off the north Corsican coast. The Edward Hwidt. A 500-ton Norwegian barquentine, holed The General Abbatucci below her starboard anchor. She took on water at great speed and sank within two hours of being hit, with the loss of 54 lives. The newspapers were full of survivors' tales of the futile attempts made by panic-stricken noblemen to buy their safety by casting their valuables at the feet of the crew, but little could be done and for many, their fates were sealed. The Times reported"The Captain and 54 persons were saved. And have been brought to Leghorn almost naked, the accident having happened early in the morning, when most of them were in their berths. Several sailors and a much larger number of passengers were lost" Shortly after she sank her captain and the survivors were picked up by the sailing vessel The Embla. Which also escorted the damaged Edward Hwidt to the Italian coast of Livorno. An inquiry held by the Italian maritime j

Pirate Port Royal Jamaica Authentic Shipwreck Artifact Powder Horn 1692 W/ COA
One Day Auction Up for offers is this authentic powder horn which was recovered from the pirate city of Port Royal. Jamaica. This is NOT a replica but an actual historic artifact recovered from the sunken city of Port Royal. Jamaica on which the movie Pirates of the Caribbean is loosely based. Port Royal was known in the mid 17th century as a base for privateers making raids on Spanish settlements and shipping. One out of every four buildings in Port Royal was either a tavern or brothel. On June 7, 1692 a devastating earthquake struck followed by three tidal waves. In a matter of minutes all of the two and three storied buildings sank into the sea along with over 3,000 souls. The powder horn was found in the debris area of Port Royal where the British ship HMS Swan was known to have been pushed inland and wrecked by one of the tidal waves ... morethat struck the island as a result of the massive earthquake that devastated the island. The powder horn is of the primer type and would have held smaller amounts of black powder and measures just over 6 inches in length. This horn shows nice workmanship and is in remarkably excellent condition w/ just one of its brass tacks absent. Even more remarkable the horn shows evidence of the sailor who owned this piece and who carved his initials"H B" on the wood plug end of the horn. Perhaps. With some research one could make a positive identification of the full name of the sailor who most likely was aboard the HMS Swan. The artifact comes with a large beautiful color. Photo-certificate of authenticity which details the story of Port Royal's history and has a full description and origin of the artifact. A full provenance and certified pirate city artifact from a recognized historically important archaeological site. A very rare artifact. As are all artifacts that are proven to be directly associated with pirates. Those that are fully documented as being from the most famous pirate settlement on the planet are especially rare.
