Eastbourne wreck site

The wreck of the Klein Hollandia was found in 2019, 14 km southeast of Beachy Head, East Sussex, England.

The site, 32 metres (105 ft) below the surface, consists of a wooden wreck with cannon, galley bricks, concreted objects, and large dressed stone blocks.

At least thirteen cannon were observed, as well as galley bricks, concreted objects, and the probable base of a copper cauldron.

In January 2023 the wreck was revealed as being the Klein Hollandia, a warship of the Admiralty of Rotterdam that was built in 1656.

She had sunk in 1672 shortly after being attacked and boarded on 12 March 1672 by an English squadron while sailing from the Mediterranean to the Netherlands.
