Melkmeid, Flatey Island, Iceland

3D Model

In May 2016, an archaeological assesment of an historic wreck was organised by a Icelandic maritime archaeologist in collaboration with researchers of the Dutch Cultural Heritage. This wreck lies at the harbour of Flatey Island (Iceland) and is probably the Dutch armed cargoship “Melkmeid” which sunk in 1659. http://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/culture_and_living/2016/06/19/divers_explore_17th_century_dutch_shipwreck_in_icel/
