Campen sank just south of the Needles, and again the crew was saved, and much of the silver. In 1628 a team headed by a Dutch salvor, Jacob the Diver, and a local merchant, Robert Newland, began to explore the wreck, handing five cannon, 6,660kg of lead, and 2,635 coins to the authorities. Campen was rediscovered in June 1979, when divers raised a further 8,000 silver coins.

In October 1627 the Dutch East India Company sent a convoy to India and Indonesia loaded with Dutch silver daalders and Spanish 'pieces of eight'. Only two days out of port, the small fleet of seven ships was caught in a terrible gale, and was forced into The Solent. Two of them were forced to sail between the Needles, and in the process the 320-ton Vliegende Draecke, with a crew of 200, had a large hole torn in her bottom. The crew transferred its precious cargo to other ships, abandoning their ship in Alum Bay.
