So we know who exactly these marks correspond to. And we know who was shipping it. Why. And who was to pick it up. And its, again this tremendous history about the economics of the time.

All these other things that took, that were required to keep a Little Community functioning out in the ocean. They are all here. When people come here and see our exhibits on the galleons they see things from the early colonial period that they wouldnt see anywhere else. So many thing have survived on these ships that you dont find elsewhere and you get this really vivid look at how people lived
