The Pepper Wreck is an early 17th Century nau da India, the first Portuguese Indiaman ever to be excavated by archaeologists, and it is believed to be the remains of the Nossa Senhora dos Mártires, lost on the Tagus River sandbar, Portugal, in 1606. The archaeological remains yielded enough information to allow a tentative reconstruction of the hull and rigging. A series of tests was performed on the reconstructed ship, which allowed a better understanding of these ship type and are the basis of an ongoing in-depth study of its sailing characteristics, intern space and life aboard.
