Beautiful & High Grade Shipwreck Cob.Grade 2! ABOUT THE SAO JOSE:In 1622 Spain was ruled by King Philip III of Spain… and Portugal was ruled by King Philip II of Portugal, who were, yes, the same guy. So, obviously, Spain and Portugal were allies united under a common king. It was under the jurisdiction of this common king that the Sao Jose and its small fleet lay at anchor in March of 1622, preparing for their voyage to Goa, India, where they would deliver a vast sum of silver Spanish reales (in fact, nine chests filled to capacity with thousands of “Pieces of Eight”) to Portugal’s largest trade center on India’s western coast. Preparations for the voyage were proceeding according to plan when fate stepped in – and the foundation for Sao Jose’s eventual demise was laid with just one report from abroad. The British are rumored to be planning an attack on the island of Hormuz – a tiny but incredibly valuable piece of strategic real estate located right where every European country looking to dominate the Indies trade route would want it to be – smack dab in the narrow straight between what is now called the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. Known as the “Gateway to the Spice Trade” this narrow straight is the only sea route through the Persian Gulf to India. And so, with almost reckless speed, Sao Jose and the rest of the fleet set sail to rush to the protection of one of their most vital outposts. The voyage around the Cape of Good Hope went to plan, and the fleet was soon headed up the familiar route hugging the East African coast to enter the Straight of Madagascar. Little did they know that they were literally sailing into the jaws of a powerful combined Dutch and British East India Company fleet just waiting to attack the smaller Portuguese flotilla. It was a dusk on July 22, 1622 as the fleet sailed up the Mozambique Channel, that the alarm was sounded, and soon the worst fears of the fleet were confirmed: they had sailed right into the ambush and were under attack. As was her appointed duty as Almiranta, Sao Jose was bringing up the rear of the fleet, and was trailing the others – the perfect position to be picked off and surrounded by the Dutch and British. Surrounded, horrifically out-gunned, and reportedly taking more shots than any recorded single vessel attacked in the Indian Ocean ever had, Sao Jose was desperately fighting just for survival. As battle continued, the ship’s captain and most officers fell ill or were injured, and the pilot and commanding officer were soon killed. Through it all, Sao Jose remained navigable throughout the night and into the next day. Despite the fact that Portuguese ships were legendary for battling to the end, in the face of the unending barrage, Sao Jose had no choice but to flee toward the African coast. But, coasts often spell disaster rather than refuge, and this stretch of the coast was no exception – the mighty Almiranta Sao Jose ran right into a shoal. The resulting collision sheared off her rudder, and she was now helpless; drifting with wind and wave, awaiting whatever fate would bring. Despite the horrors the crew had survived, they mounted a heroic effort to somehow save their ship. Precious brass cannons were thrown overboard, anchors were dropped, and anything deemed non-essential was tossed into the sea in an attempt to lighten the thundering vessel. But it was far too late. Sao Jose reached her final port of call on a reef off the Mozambique coast after the pursuing Anglo-Dutch fleet mounted what would be a final attack. Soon ship, crew, passengers and cargo were scatted on the bottom of the Mozambique Channel. *Please take note, this is NOT a fragment, this is a FULL or COMPLETE 8 Real Cob.We have taken notice of many other sellers listing fragments as full or complete cobs, and making no notation of that in their listings.
