Zierikzee
was a fregate from Holland, that wrecked at Tversted, by the North
Jutland Coast, on the 2nd. november, 1782.The
wreck is hardly recognizeable as a ship, but there are still pieces
of timber and several kanons left.
At the kanons stands the Script: AB 1782. A couble of the kanons
are staying in vertical position, only 40 cm from the surface,
so it's recommended to be careful when sailing in the area, around
the wreck.
The
depth by, the wreck, is only about 3 meters.
Most of the year, the visibility here is very poor, 20-30 cm,
but few days a year, the it reaches 5 to 10 meters so I was very
lucky when I took these picures.
103
men lost their lives and 342 was rescued when the ship stranded.
The Crew called for help by firing one of the 64 kanons on the
ship.
The
indification of the wreck is based on plates, bottles and a coin
from 1761, found at the wreck.
