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。圣安东尼号被描述为一艘‘精美之船’，属于葡萄牙国王若昂三世。该船于1527年1月19日从弗拉芒地区驶往葡萄牙途中遭遇沉没。船上共有86名船员，携带着价值连城的货物，包括银锭、铜锭、烛台、碗具以及精美的布料。沉船位于康沃尔郡利泽德地区的冈沃尔洛渔港附近的海域。该遗址于20世纪70年代末由一位当地的海蛎采集潜水员发现。由于海滩上的集料开采活动，该遗址可能因此暴露，这一活动至今仍在进行。1981年，理查德·拉恩首次将这一发现公之于众，同年，他和一群当地潜水员开始对这一遗址进行水下调查。他们从遗址中打捞上来的若干文物，使他们确信该遗址即为圣安东尼号。
