In the 1990s, large numbers of mainly metal objects were discovered off the Belgian
coast near the port of Zeebrugge, indicating the location of an early modern wreck-site.
Though at this time no appropriate legislation in regard to such a procedure existed
in Belgium, the discoverer of the finds nonetheless initiated the excavation and study
of this underwater site with a team of professional divers and amateur archaeologists.
Unfortunately, the project was never finalised and the data related to the excavation
ended up unpublished and dispersed among several members of the excavation team. Now,
more than 25 years later, the author of this book aims to collect, analyse, and reassess
the initial data related to the excavation, in order to propose a substantiated interpretation
of this forgotten site. In order to understand the available data, Hendrik Lettany

't Vliegent Hart, and the SS Samselbu
