The Amsterdam was a ship of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). She was built in 1748 in Amsterdam and was lost during her maiden voyage in January 1749 near the town of Hastings on the south coast of England. Since 1984 this shipwreck has become the focal point of large scale combined underwater achaeological and historical research. Through an integrated approach this project aims to contribute to a more detailed and realistic view of the shipping and trade of the VOC in the 18th century.
