Knowing all the details is unlikely as a result. I don't think Penelope's ship was recorded because it was probably not property of the Dutch West India Company, and therefore of little concern for company records. Wrecks off of the Hook were very common and numerous over the years. It is a treacherous area especially before charts were available and even after charting. Every storm changes the Hook greatly. I think any really new information may come from someone looking into records that may exist in England or Holland.
