The ship was carrying a rich cargo including some 250,000 guilders in silver coins. It was nearly two and a half centuries before the mystery of its fate was finally solved. Phillip Playford, one of the wreck's discoverers, gives an engrossing account of an incredible true story: a personal adventure, a fabulous treasure, and some extraordinary incompetence- fact definitely more exciting than fiction.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43493958811867,"sku":"9781875560738-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9781875560738.jpg?v=1665536895","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781875560738-carpet-of-silver-the-wreck-of-the-zuytdorp","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
