What historical evidence supports the identification of the discovered shipwrecks, and what caused their demise?

Analysis of the recovered wood and bricks, dating to 1690-1695 and originating from the Baltic region and Flensburg, Germany, respectively, corroborates historical records. The ships' demise involved a slave rebellion on the Fridericus Quartus, followed by a second mutiny due to lack of supplies, leading to their stranding off Costa Rica. The Christianus Quintus likely cut its anchor rope while fleeing.
