We are absolutely thrilled to announce that we have been asked to sell the contents of Charlestown Shipwreck Treasure Museum, one the most phenomenal collections of marine archeology anywhere in the world.
It is a gargantuan task but a very, very exciting one, as the museum is literally crammed full of the most extraordinary artefacts. Some, many hundreds of years old and hugely rare and valuable, others much more modern but still with a story to tell about the shipwreck from which they came, and it is these stories that have been exciting us the most whilst we’ve been cataloguing.
We have been learning about the history of each ship, how it was wrecked, the lives that were lost, and the experiences of those people in their last terrifying few minutes. It has been an equally educational and humbling experience.
