according to sources the dutch vessel PRINS MAURTIS -- wrecked near fire island --- her cargo was dutch immigrants headed for what was then known as "new amsterdam" (modern day new york city) records say that local indains assisted in helping the all of immigrants and crew to safety ( since there was no loss of life--- she most likely ran around in shallow water and was emptied of crew ,and cargo with little of value left behind -- is a good guess*) hope this helps --- Ivan
