Talk:1640

Shetlopedia - The Shetland Encyclopaedia that anyone can edit

Islandhopper,
Since I found these wrecks by accident :-)
Do you have any more on them??? If not we can make them into pages, with redirect to the "with little info." wreck page for just now.

Robbie,
The Royal Commission has all of them as losses of 1690 (reference Shetland Museum), proper dates unclear, all around Fair Isle, all positions unclear, maps with positions lost. For a Dutch Eastindiaman it must read "Het Land Van Shouwen" = "The Land ..." in English. "Von" instead of "Van" would be German, not Dutch ... ;-)Islandhopper 01:38, 2 June 2007 (MDT)
