 Ships of the World: An Historical Encyclopedia - - Sea Venture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
One of the best-known shipwrecks in literature is that of the merchantman Sea Venture (sometimes called Sea Adventure, Seaventure, or Seaventer), whose loss on a Bermudan reef in 1609 became the subject of William Shakespeare's Tempest.
Her early history is not known with certainty, but it is believed that she is the same Sea Venture owned by members of the Company of Merchant Adventurers, for whom she traded between London, the Elbe River port of Stade, and the Dutch market at Middleburg, carrying mostly wool and cloth.
The artifacts he retrieved suggested that the wreck was that of Sea Venture, until experts at the Tower of London misidentified one of the ship's guns as a saker dating from the eighteenth century, rather than a minion from the early seventeenth.
