It's quite a shipwreck tale: There were no storm warnings when one of the 18th-century ships in the fleet of the Dutch East India company left Agra, India — home of the Taj Mahal — and headed for the Orient.

Few records were recovered relating to the loss of life or the thousands of silver rupees that were part of the merchant ship’s cargo.
