Treasure Ship 1527
Step into a tangled tale of riches, rivalry and royal intrigue.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
A storm. A ship laden with royal treasure. A fortune worth millions. And a scandal that reached the highest levels of Tudor England.
Discover the extraordinary story of the St Anthony, wrecked in Mount's Bay in 1527, and the bitter battle over who had the right to claim its riches. With accusations of extortion, royal rivalries and a case heard before the Star Chamber, the truth is far from straightforward.
The verdict has been lost to history. Now it's your turn to investigate.
