The wine-trading #NewportShip, which sank in the #RiverUsk c.1469, has just returned to #Newport - in 2,500 pieces, after #TimberConservation in Portsmouth by the #MaryRose team. Now to find a site for reassembly & display of this great future tourist attraction! Superb storytelling & imagery in the 3 min video at https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-64151535

The newly-discovered ships were built in the lifetime of the #LadyOfClare. Household accounts from #ClareCastle in #Suffolk record purchase of fish from Iceland, candlewax from Lübeck, & wine from the Rhine.
When we republished her biography, #ForHerGoodEstate, our map showed the barrels arriving from Northern Europe...

The #medieval seal of #Shoreham in Sussex refers to the town as Hulkesmouth, after the #ship type depicted, a hulc.

Wonderful discussion of the many images & archaeological hopes from the #NewportShip project:
'In Search of the Hulc...' https://www.newportship.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Newsletter-June-2019.pdf#page=5
I haven't seen details of the #clinker #hull of the #13thCentury #MortarWreck in #Dorset; #MedievalMastodon is it a hulc?
