A fierce pirate wielding a deadly weapon, brought about the untimely demise of the Het Wapen van Amsterdam, also known in Icelandic folklore as ‘The Goldship’. After attacking the ship and its crew with a relentless storm, the pirate known as Mother Earth now holds the ship and its untold treasures in a hidden jail beneath the coastal sands of Iceland. Why is the world so fascinated with tales of lost treasure and pirates?
Dripping with pearls, uncut diamonds, gold, silver, copper, silk, wine and spirits, the Het Wapen van Amsterdam, flagship of the Dutch, was laid to rest on the banks of Iceland’s Skeiðarársandur estuary on 19th September 1667 after fierce storms swept it away from the rest of its fleet while returning from a routine tax collection run from the Dutch colonies.
