The shipwreck codenamed MOG-003 was found in Infusse reef,
Mogincual, in the Province of Nampula, Republic of Mozambique, in
2004 during a magnetometer survey of the area. It has been
tentatively identified as the S o Jos, a Portuguese Indiaman
vice-flagship (Almiranta) from the 1622 fleet en route from Lisbon
to Goa, India, lost at this location on the 24th of July of 1622
during a battle against the Anglo-Dutch fleet. The archaeological
excavation of this wreck provided a collection of artefacts from
the late 16th and the early 17th centuries which allowed the study
of the numismatic and artillery aspects of that time. The evidence
confirms that the S o Jos was carrying Spanish reales minted in the
Americas and Spain, belonging to the Portuguese crown.
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.
