HMS Association Shipwreck Salvage
This substantial copper pipe segment is a remarkable piece of maritime history, salvaged from the wreck of HMS Association, flagship of Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell. The Association tragically sank off the Isles of Scilly in 1707, and this fragment represents a tangible link to that pivotal event. The pipe’s robust construction and weathered patina speak to its time spent submerged, bearing witness to centuries of ocean currents and marine life.
Condition and Collectibility
The copper pipe exhibits significant wear and corrosion consistent with its age and underwater origin. This is not a flaw, but rather a testament to its authenticity and history. Such salvaged pieces are highly sought after by collectors of maritime memorabilia, naval history enthusiasts, and those fascinated by shipwrecks. This fragment offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of a famous shipwreck and a poignant reminder of a significant moment in naval history.
