Joe, there is interest on this forum about all shipwrecks from almost all the users. VOC shipwrecks are at least as interesting as the ones in Florida to all of us. We hunt Florida because that is where we live...nothing more, nothing less. I have many books on areas other than Florida, and will be glad to look some stuff on the Welfaren up for you and post it here.

Cornelius,you and i are in the same country actually we should back each other up,so why must we argue about that if it is true?.Riau archipelago is my home town i know it better than anybody else.the reason why i came to this forum is to share the information and the knowlegde and also learn from everyone here.you can say i am a rookie guy in treasure hunting but when talking about the history of my country don't try to lecture me and i believe history is the main key as the fishermen to find the wrecks and right now i am going to prove that the history can make people rich,your experience will be big nothing zero if you don't know about history pal, and i'll tell you bro personally i won't let anybody underestimate me if i didn't do bad thing.
