“…The years stamped on the ingots, 1791 and 1792, were of course the dates of manufacturing, and the vessel might have wrecked some years later. Having several years represented within one cargo and pre-dating the year of loss, is also illustrated by the ingots recovered from the wreck of the Albion (1765), which bore dates of 1763 and 1764 (Redknap, 1990). Further, the stamps have been shown to be associated with production at the smelter.…”

Various types of lead ingots have been reported from a number of shipwrecks from different parts of the world. In 1991 exploration of a wreck off Poompuhar, Tamil Nadu, East Coast of India, at a depth of 19 m yielded a gun, rudder gudgeon, gunpowder boxes and a variety of lead ingots. The most significant ingots are those marked W: Blackett and D with a crown symbol on the obverse and 1791, 1792 and some merchant marks on the reverse. These are similar to Blackett lead ingots found in England, the Netherlands and Sumatra. Pb-isotopic analysis has revealed their source as the North Pennine lead mines of England. Further, the lead used was of high purity -93%. Records show that Blackett was a well-known lead-exporting company in England since 1694. The wreck off Poompuhar may be a Toni type cargo ship carrying traded lead ingots of different manufacturers.

“…During this period, interviews with local fishermen and recreational divers, including Hugh Singer, gathered information on the location of net fastenings which was collated by the author e.g. the United East India Company Hindostan, lost on Long Sand in 1803 (Redknap 1990a).…”

Previously unpublished Roman pottery from the Thames Estuary was studied by the author in 1985 and 1986 for the voluntary body Marine Archaeological Surveys (MAS) and is presented as a contribution to wider initiatives on the Roman archaeology of this important social and economic artery between South-East England and the wider world. The purpose of this paper is to complement the ongoing review by Michael Walsh of Roman wrecks in UK waters (a research partnership between Southampton University and the British Museum) and that of the ‘Pudding Pan’ assemblage, much of which is in private collections.

“…It carries only the ‘VEIC’ mark. Many lead ingots have been raised from the wreck of the English East Indiaman Hindostan (1803), but because of the salvage‐driven circumstances of their recovery only three have been satisfactorily recorded (Redknap, 1990: 25–6). All bear the VEIC mark of the Company, and are similar to the corresponding late‐18th‐century ingots from Poompuhar.…”
