Het Wapen van Amsterdam

Het Wapen van Amsterdam was a Dutch merchant vessel that stranded in Skeiðarársandur, Iceland, on 19 September 1667. It is commonly known as Gullskipið (English: The Goldship) in Iceland due to beliefs that it was carrying a large amount of gold and diamonds. For the next few decades, several items from the ship and its cargo were salvaged despite difficulties to reach the wreck but it is not known if the salvagers managed to reach the main cargo hold. Several attempts were made to locate it in the 20th century, most notably during the 1980's, without success.
