Palmwood shipwreck

Texel, Netherlands

The Palmwood is the name used for a shipwreck off the coast of the Dutch island of Texel in the Wadden Sea. Artifacts recovered from the wreck include two unique examples of 17th-century clothing, one a satin silk damask dress such as would have been worn by the very wealthy for everyday occasions and the other a silk and silver wedding dress. Both dresses, along with other artifacts found in the wreck, are on display at the Kaap Skil museum in Texel.
