CASTLE DEL REY

The Castle Del Rey was a privateer that was sunk during a gale in 1704. According to the book Shipwrecks in the Americas by Robert Marx she had 18 guns, displaced 130 tons and was under the command of Captain Otto Van Tyle when she grounded near Sandy Hook. Only 13 out of 145 crew members survived. This may be a Treasure Wreck but the wreck has never been found.
