Notes: In 1971, a shipwreck was discovered on plot D15 in Eastern Flevoland and explored in the same year. In 1986, it was decided to excavate the ship. The ship probably ran aground on a local shoal, the ‘Knar’. Tree ring analysis shows that the wood used to build the ship was felled in 1701 AD. Based on the dating of objects from the inventory, the ship must have sunk after 1740. The vessel is entirely carvel-built and belongs to the pram-type, with an (estimated) length over the sterns of 18.8 meters, a width of 4.7 meters, and an (estimated) depth of 2.1 meters. Fifteen tree trunks found belonged to the ship's cargo. Based on the footwear, it can be determined that there were three people on board, including a woman. No evidence of children has been found.
