Planters Welvaart

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Planters Welvaart as Wreck. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Planters Welvaart was a 17th-century Dutch East Indiaman that was wrecked in 1647 near the coast of Wales. The vessel was carrying cargo for the Dutch East India Company when it was lost, likely due to stormy weather; no details of lives or cargo lost are recorded, but the wreck is historically significant as a rare example of a Dutch merchant vessel in Welsh waters.
