BREAKING NEWS:
We are pleased to announce that an institutional home has been found for many of the most important shipwreck artefacts from Charlestown's incredible collection.
As auctioneers, we always relish the drama of a competitive saleroom, but with a sensitive collection such as this, we recognise the importance of keeping these
artefacts together and preserving them for posterity. These lots have been withdrawn from the auction.
We acknowledge the disappointment this will cause some of our potential bidders, and we apologise for this.500 lots from the 1260-lot sale have now been withdrawn in order to facilitate this transaction.
The sale will now be a two-day auction. Weds & Thurs Nov 6th & 7th.
Nov 6th: Lots 3 - 850
Nov 7th: Lots 851 - 1283
The Charlestown Shipwreck Treasure Museum Sale will consist of the entire museum's collection of some 8,000 artifacts, recovered from over 150 shipwrecks,
a collection originally created by the legendary wreck divers and historians Bridget Larn and Richard Larn OBE and one the most phenomenal collections of marine
archeology anywhere in the world.
