Section of wood from the ship in shadow box. 4-1/2 lb, 16-1/2" x 16-1/2" x 1-3/4". We have sold tens of thousands of coins from this wreck but very few artifacts, let alone a piece of the ship itself! An otherwise unassuming piece of dark, splintered wood, about 8" and 1-1/2" wide, this small section of the ship is elegantly displayed on mats inside a wooden frame with glass front, inside which is also a custom certificate signed by Burt Webber, Jr., the modern salvager of the wreck, stating that the wood is a type of Caribbean mahogany saturated with gunpowder (presumably why it survived), recovered in 1979. Recovered from: Concepción, sunk in 1641 off the northeast coast of Hispaniola
