Do you know anyone in your part of the world who specializes in East Indiamen identification?

This might be a good place to start on research work.
Unfortunately I don?t know any organization that specializes in the East India Company and its ships.

SabieThis brass barrel tap is most probably from a rum barrel. It has had one small replacement locking screw
fitted,
It's in full working order which is quite remarkable as it has been under the sea for over 215 years.
We have recovered a number of these barrel taps all various sizes and this one
is the best in the whole collection.
This barrel tap measures 6 inches - 150 mm in length.
When originally recovered from the sea it was encrusted in concretion, which had to be removed
professionally.
It has cleaned up nicely and makes an interesting artifact.
