Iron grappling hook, professionally conserved, from an unidentified 1657 Dutch wreck. 3 lb, 18" long. Nearly intact 4-pronged grappling hook, 3 of the points still sharp but the fourth one mostly missing, full ring at top and even a smaller ring at bottom, all a dull steel gray, its layer of rust professionally removed to expose grainy metal with joints where the prongs meet the shaft, believed to have been lost during a search for a Spanish Fleet sunk in the same area in 1605. From an unidentified 1657 Dutch wreck off Grand Bahama Island, pedigreed to our Auction #5 (lot #1341), with our photo-certificate.
