St Anthony

Protected wreck

Why this matters

St Anthony was a 17th-century Dutch merchant vessel wrecked off the coast of Essex, England, in 1624. It was lost during a severe storm while en route from Amsterdam to London, carrying a cargo of textiles and spices; all 32 crew members perished. The wreck is significant as one of the earliest known protected wrecks in England and offers insight into early 17th-century Dutch trade with England.
