Stepping Out: The wreck of the Amsterdam

This familiar walk at low tide will again explore the events leading up to the wreck of the Amsterdam, off Bulverhythe, on January 26 1749, and the loss of this 18th century Dutch East India Company cargo ship.

Please do not park cars in Bridgeway, near the railway footbridge opposite the wreck site.
