In January 1749, the Dutch East Indiaman Amsterdam encountered severe storms and rampant disease on its maiden voyage. Following a crew mutiny and a broken rudder, the captain intentionally beached the ship at Bulverhythe. The crew escaped, local smugglers looted its silver, and the vessel quickly sank deep into the quicksand.
Walk onto Bulverhythe beach via the pedestrian railway footbridge during low spring tides. The bow of the ship lies towards the shore, and the seaward end the wreck is surrounded by steel sheet piling put there in the 1980’s to aid archaeological excavations by a combined Dutch and British team.
