In January 1740, the Dutch East India ship Rooswijk sank completely during a violent storm on Kent's hazardous Goodwin Sands while bound for Jakarta. All 237 people aboard perished. Recent historic preservation dives successfully recovered a vast archaeological treasure trove of silver ingots, illegal smuggling coins, and engraved sabres.
