Article Title:The Studland Bay wreck, Dorset, UK: Hull analysis
Abstract:
Upon the discovery and protection of a presumed 16th-century wreck off Poole Harbour, one of the largest underwater excavations in England was carried out between 1984 and 1992. In 1997-8 the author examined the archive and recovered objects with the aim of publishing the present report on the hull remains. The paper demonstrates how much can be learned about construction and design from in-situ recording. The similarities and differences between this vessel and other vessels of the so-called Iberian-Atlantic building tradition are analysed and rigging modifications suggested. The vessel has never been scientifically dated, but a typological date bracket is based on onboard artefacts.
