becoming an economic superpower that was single-handedly responsible for half of Europes shipping by 1670.All monopolies eventually end.

“almost perfect condition”
Um, I think it needs a bit of sprucing up to make it seaworthy.

...the Dutch Empire...was single-handedly responsible for half of Europes shipping by 1670.I knew the Dutch were big sea-going traders, but had no idea of that fact. That is astonishing. My ancestors on my grandfather's wife's side were from the southern Baltic and the towns there were very wealthy from the extensive international trade.

A ghost ship usually means a ship that is still afloat but abandoned, like the Mary Celeste.

What it might have looked like before it sank..

That boat is in better shape than the Titanic!

I just got finished reading “Samurai William” about the first Englishman to survive in late 16th/early 17th century Japan.
In the late 1500s, some Dutch merchantmen did try to get to Japan by going East, and did hit storms before giving up and heading West and South down Africa.
Losses did occur.
To: packrat35
Maybe it is the one that delivered the Plague to England a few years before it sank. Any chance it was sunk during the war at that time between England and Holland?

LOL!!! Bermuda Triangle North?

You’re correct, I think this is just a sunken boat.
