Looks like you intercepted the shipment of cork that was regularly sent by the Dutch to help the war effort in Blighty.

How does cork help the war effort?
What were the English fighting with pop guns?

It comes for that fact that Tramp steamers are always so hard to sink, so we say there full of cork.
