From the Drewry Family Collection. Ex Ponterio 26 (14 December 1986), lot 1264; 1724 Slot ter Hooge Wreck.
he Slot ter Hooge was a Dutch East Indiamen sailing from the Netherlands to Batavia, modern Jakarta, Indonesia, loaded with three tons of silver ingots and four chests of coins. On the night of 19 November 1724, the vessel encountered a severe gale off the coast of Portugal and, though the crew struggled mightily, she was dashed upon the rocks of the island of Porto Santo, near Madiera. Of the 254 men aboard, only 33 survived.
The powerful Dutch East India Company was not content to simply let tons of silver lie at the bottom of the ocean. Immediately after the wreck, guards were posted on the shore near the site to prevent looting, and the Bishop of Madeira threatened excommunication to anyone caught attempting to salvage. Over the next ten years, the English inventor John Lethbridge was contracted to dive the wreck. Using his “diving machine,” an airtight barrel with leather sleeves for his arms, the inventor was able to recover 90% of the treasure for the Company by 1734.
After this initial operation, the location of the Slot ter Hooge was lost. Beginning in 1967, Robert Sténuit and his organization, the Group de Recherche Archéologique Sous-Marine Post Médiévale, researched and documented European various shipwrecks. The Slot was a wreck of personal interest to Sténuit, but archival research came up blank – the records were lost, destroyed, or otherwise inaccessible among the millions of uncatalogued documents. Yet he was able to discover one important clue – a silver tankard once belonging to Lethbridge himself, engraved with a depiction of his diving machine and a map of Porto Santo. This information was enough to lead Sténuit directly to the wreck site and, in the spring of 1974, the Slot ter Hooge was rediscovered, a mere three minutes into his first dive.
