Rigging the pepper wreck. Part I - Masts and yards

abstract

• Discovered in 1993 at the mouth of the Tagus River, the SJB2 shipwreck - or 'Pepper Wreck' - was tentatively identified as the Portuguese Indiaman Nossa Senhora dos Mrtires, lost in this place on its return voyage from Cochin, in India, on 14 September 1606. Its archaeological excavation led to a tentative reconstruction of the hull, based in contemporary texts on shipbuilding. Further analysis of these texts allowed us to propose a reconstruction of the rigging. 2005 The Nautical Archaeology Society.
