The find had already been logged in State records but was last visible in 2017 and before then not until the 1990s. “Other ships, originating from ports on the west coast of Britain and bound for various global destinations, seem to have been unfortunate victims of stormy weather, driven ashore at Portmarnock, often at night. There is an unusually high number of wrecks in this location.”
Its cargo of wine, jewels, copper pots, spices and steel was washed ashore and plundered by locals, resulting in numerous charges of theft. “In general, while only the lower portions of the hulls and bow areas has survived, our team has identified timber frames, planking, metal knees, and even a metal winch, windlass system at the bow of one of the boats.”
