St Anthony's Finds Record

The project aimed to provide a record of the finds recovered from the designated wreck site the St. Anthony. Described as a "fine ship" belonging to King John III of Portugal, the St. Anthony was wrecked on 19th January 1527 while sailing from Flanders to Portugal. The vessel had a crew of 86 and was carrying a valuable cargo - including silver and copper ingots, candle sticks, bowls and fine cloth.
The wreck is situated a short distance offshore from Gunwalloe Fishing Cove, on Lizard, Cornwall. The wreck was discovered in the late 1970s by a local shellfish diver. It was probably exposed as a result of aggregate extraction from the beach which continues to the present day. It came to the attention of Richard Larn in 1981, in which year he and a group of local divers started underwater investigation of the site. A number of artefacts were recovered which led them to identify the wreck as that of the St. Anthony.

本项研究旨在记录从指定沉船遗址圣安东尼号所发现的遗物。圣安东尼号被誉为葡萄牙国王若昂三世的“良船”，于1527年1月19日在从弗朗德斯驶往葡萄牙的途中沉没。该船载有86名船员，并携带了包括银锭、铜锭、烛台、碗和精美布料在内的贵重货物。沉船位于康沃尔郡利兹岛的 Gunwalloe 渔港附近的海域。该沉船于20世纪70年代末被一位当地贝类潜水员发现。可能是由于海滩上的集料开采导致其暴露，这一开采活动一直持续至今。1981年，理查德·拉恩注意到了这一沉船，同年，他与一群当地潜水员开始对该遗址进行水下调查。他们从中回收了若干文物，这些文物使他们确定该沉船即为圣安东尼号。
