Clay smoking pipe with maker's mark. 14.5 grams, 5" long, with 3/4"-diameter bowl. Perfectly preserved pipe with most of stem intact, small patch of brownish encrustation, tiny engrailing around rim and "WS" mark on base (made in Gouda by Arent Willemsz Bremmert, 1709-1768), a fairly common artifact but practically unheard-of in this condition from a wreck. Recovered from: Vliegenthart, sunk in 1735 off Zeeland, the Netherlands
