The shipwreck code-named IDM-003 was found on Cabeceira reef, Ilha
de Mocambique, in the Province of Nampula, Republic of Mozambique,
in 2001 during a systematic archaeological survey of the area. It
has been tentatively identified as the Nossa Senhora da Consolacao,
a Portuguese Indiaman, lost at this location on July, 1608 during
the Dutch siege of the island. The archaeological excavation of
this wreck provided a collection of artefacts from the late 16th
and the early 17th centuries giving us a glimpse of life on board
those ships. A part of the wood structure survived allowing for the
study of 16th century Portuguese naval architecture. The evidence
suggests that IDM-003 was a typical Portuguese Indiaman, similar to
those described in Portuguese 16th century ship treaties, with a
keel of around 27.7m and an overall length of nearly 40m.
