The cargo, lost in 1746 when a dutch trading ship ran aground, consisted of more than 239,000 pieces; Chinese porcelain, textiles, tea, lacquerware, and gold pieces. The author relied on information from the investigation recorded and kept in The Nethelands, forgotten, for more almost 250 years.

The jacket is protected with a Brodart cover.
