Notes: The finds come from the Leerwrak. This wreck is also known as Vogelzand V and is nicknamed De Fransman or De Fransoos. It is probably a Dutch flute that was returning from Arkhangelsk (Saint Michael), a port city on the White Sea, or from Saint Petersburg. The main cargo consists of complete tanned cowhides, stamped with the years 1732 and 1733. Based on the dated objects, it is believed that the Dutch ship sank around 1735.
