Abstract
The Salcombe find is a Dutch Baroque Type 3 pipe of unusually high quality, exhibiting a variety of unique decorative elements and dating from 1635 to 1645. Although probably of Amsterdam or Gouda manufacture, it may have emanated from one of a number of early minor centres in the Netherlands. Given the absence of such pipes in England and Scotland and the unique detail displayed in this object, it would seem most likely to have been a personal possession purchased in Holland by one of the passengers or crew. There is no evidence that pipes of this type were ever traded to Britain and the Salcombe example may never have ended up in this country had the ship carrying it not been wrecked off the Devon coast.
