The ship sunk in 1660 it's amazing that they are able to recover intact cloth, let alone an entire dress from the ship. I guess the cold dark water of the North Sea helped to preserve it.

Fascinating , probably was en route from the Netherlands to England ? those leather book bindings with the coat of arms of Scottish-English Stuart royal family may indicate the dress belonged to them or maybe to Dutch nobility.

Silver also has rather strong anti-microbial properties.

Yeah this one ship wreck had a hand sketched drawing of a naked woman recovered from it…. Wait that was a movie. But I agree with you, the way some things remain and can preserved is crazy
