"Terrible loss"? A loss, I suppose! But remember those were rich people living at the costs of their poor citizens and peasants they were constantly exploiting! Normal people wore second hand clothes , those were handyman, construction workers or employees who were not poor in the sense of the word! But the poor people didn 't wear "clothes" , just pieces of fabric stuff and had absolutely nothing to eat! And those rich nobles didn 't feel any remorse for treating them badly and exploiting them ! So don 't talk about "terrible loss"! Shortly after the sinking this rich lady surely had another precious gown of her own!

@@sabine4759 You would be correct for some lower class people. However, at that time, in that region, most people were not that badly off. As for the attitude of the rich, I think you are sadly also correct. Religious convictions would mean frequent donations to the poor though, buying their way to heaven, sort of. We are generalising a fair bit though. We are also assuming the lady owner either wasn't on the ship, or survived the wreck, which isn't at all sure.

@@derekrea4876 There is another video of this dress where a letter was written: Experts on the English House of Stuart found a letter written on March 17, 1642, from Princess Elizabeth Stuart, who mentioned that her sister-in-law Henrietta's baggage ships had gone down, carrying vessels from her private chapel, as well as the clothing of her ladies-in-waiting. So it sounds like this was just packed up to move from one place to another after the owner had already arrived at their destination.

This is one of the issues that has also puzzled researchers. There are dozens of wrecks in the vicinity, but none of them have yielded any textiles in a presentable state. Even a woollen sock in an advanced state of degradation is a rare find, leading to the conclusion that local underwater conditions are very detrimental to the survival of textile fibres. So what’s different here? We suspect that the gowns were exposed to almost no oxygen for centuries, and oxygen is a prime driver of decay. They were stored in heavy chests, while the wreck itself was submerged beneath the sediment for most of its existence, only recently washing free. In that sense, the divers were likely at the right place at the right time, before further decay could occur.

@@MuseumKaapSkil A case from NYC comes to mind. When they were building out into the Hudson River, the were doing some excavation work along the existing shore and the uncover wooden beams that were centuries old but just like new. The conclusion they made was that the mud had blocked out all the oxygen that might have penetrated into the wood. And that makes me think of another case. The state of New Jersey once had magnificent stands of white cedar trees that were old growth timber. During the 17th century these were mostly all cut down, but during the 19th century it was discovered that cedar trees had been falling over into the swamps for centuries, and that if one dug down into the mud once could pull them up and they were as good as new when in some cases, they were a great many centuries old. Sometime a couple decades ago I was talking to a man who had helped construct the foundation for a nuclear plant along the Jersey Shore. We discussed the cedar trees and he just nodded and said that when he was drilling preliminary test bore holes, on several occasions he found pieces of good quality cedar among that material taken up by the boring. He said that was found about 70 feet down in the mud.

Cloth of gold and silver were reserved for royalty I believe. There were strict rules concerning dress among the classes. So even a very rich Merchant couldn’t array him/herself in the clothes “of their betters”. These dresses may have been bound for a royal woman as a gift, if she wasn’t on the ship when it went down.
@carolyngraham2003 Жыл бұрын
i am curious as to why the colours and form of one dress are beautifully preserved while the second dress is much more distressed. Were they stored differently on the ship or is it due to a difference in the fabric type? Anyone know?
@MuseumKaapSkil Жыл бұрын
They were stored alongside each other and thus in similar conditions, so that likely is not the reason for this big difference. Our working theory is that the silver is to blame: silver oxidates (rusts) in marine environments like most metals, and the silver on this gown is very deteriorated. This has had a strong impact on the silk fibers, as rust tends to demolish everything it touches. The other gown was more ‘plain’ and barely featured any metal accessories, which ironically led to a better survival.

Research has shown that it was probably a wedding dress, but it could have been meant for an other special moment as well. What we do know is that it must have been one of the most unusual dresses which a lady from the higher social classes of Western Europe would have worn in her life. The dress was suitable for special occasions such as engagements, coronations and marriages. If it was worn as a wedding dress, the bride would have been the dazzling centrepiece of the marriage ceremony.

It’s always very difficult to determine the origins and destination of wrecked ship from this period, as there very little in the way of writing or engraving left on the wreck itself. It’s usually a question of looking at the ship’s construction methods (in this case, very likely Dutch, from the Amsterdam region), and the main cargo it was carrying. Though most of the cargo was not salvaged, the main goods (boxwood, ceramics, mastic and aniseed) that were seen all strongly point to the Mediterranean region. This suggests that it was Dutch merchantman returning from that area. This would mean that the gowns boarded the ship somewhere along that route (with or without their owners). Its still just an educated guess, as anything was for sale on the Amsterdam staple market, but it is the working theory at this moment in time.

Although they helped many, ultimately the practice continues. Unfortunately modern groups like B LM & their massive corporate funders do literally *nothing* to end slavery.

Also, did these same antibacterial properties help preserve the dress?

The two dresses were stored alongside each other and thus in similar conditions, so that likely is not the reason for this big difference in preservation. Our working theory is that the silver is to blame: silver oxidates (rusts) in marine environments like most metals, and the silver on this gown is very deteriorated. This has had a strong impact on the silk fibers, as rust tends to demolish everything it touches. The other gown was more ‘plain’ and barely featured any metal accessories, which ironically led to a better survival.

Is there a book on the discovery
@MuseumKaapSkil Жыл бұрын
A voluminous report has been written (in Dutch) but it is currently sold out. There is talk of a sequel, but it's unclear if that will happen. We will certainly let you know on our website if there is more clarity. kaapskil.nl/actueel/nieuws/documentaire-en-boek-over-onderzoek-aan-palmhoutwrak-collectie/

It would depend upon the temperature of the water & whether it was fresh water or salt water with some acidity to it conserving the fabric integrity 🤔

Is it possible that the silver itself contributed to the preservation? Silver and most silver compounds are toxic for bacteria, algae, and fungi.
