Dutch ship carrying Moroccan gold coins uncovered
An international team of researchers successfully identified a Dutch shipwreck that sank around four centuries ago. The ship was traveling on its commercial route from Morocco to Europe when it sank off the coast of England. It was determined that the vessel, named "Doon van Kuilen," sank in 1633 following a severe storm. It was carrying a valuable cargo, including Arabic frankincense, goatskins, and approximately nine thousand Moroccan gold coins that held high value in European markets. Part of the ship’s remains and various artifacts are still housed in the British Museum. These discoveries provide important historical insights into the trade movement between Morocco and Europe in the 17th century.
