摘要

This article communicates historical archaeological research to assess a nearly intact shipwreck in the Western Black Sea. The archaeological site was discovered and recorded by the Black Sea Maritime Archaeological Project. It lies in 90 m (m) of water on the Bulgarian Continental Shelf and represents the untouched remains of a mid-nineteenth century wooden sailing merchantman, likely to be associated with the historic region of Frisia and the Dutch province of Groningen. The site was subject to non-destructive recording. Comparative analysis has pointed to a relative chronology and a terminus post quem. Archival research was undertaken to outline the history of Dutch commercial sailing on the Western Black Sea, from the late first to the early fourth quarter of the nineteenth century (1820–1877). Archaeological data has been correlated with archival sources in an attempt to home in on a historical parallel of this remarkably preserved and significant underwater archaeological site.
