It is one of the few finds from this shipwreck but also a very important one. The elaborate embellishments on the cannon provide a lot of information. The Admiralty of Amsterdam emblem, the date 1638 and the text \u201cEVERARDVS SPLINTER ME FECIT ENCHUSAE\u201d can all be seen on the cannon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>The Rob<\/h2>\n<p>Information on the cannon tells us that it was cast upon command of the Admiralty in 1638, by the prominent cannon maker Everhardus Splinter from Enkhuizen. This knowledge helps us identify the shipwreck in which the cannon was found. It was possibly the wreck of VOC-ship the Rob. The Rob was built in 1639 and fought in October of the same year against the Spaniards in the Battle of the Downs. A few months later, in January 1640, the ship sunk near Texel before even being made ready to sail to the Indies.<\/p>\n<p>If the BZN-3 really was the Rob, there were probably a lot of other cannons on board. According to the regulations, \u2018large ships\u2019 of the VOC had to take at least 32 cannons with them, including at least six made of bronze.<\/p>\n<p><em>NB: Research continues to be conducted into the collection.
