	Newport ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Newport ship is a 15th century sailing vessel discovered by archaeologists in June 2002 at Newport, Wales.
		The original length of the ship was around 25 metres, and it would have been quite capable of continental voyages.
		Artefacts found on the ship suggest that it was trading with Portugal in the fifteenth century.

	RESCUE - The British Archaeological Trust
		The ship was found buried in silt and mud on the banks of the River Usk in Newport, South Wales, prior to the building of a new arts centre.
		Following unconvincing claims by Newport City Council that both ends of the ship had been lost at an unspecified time in the past, it now seems that the Council are unprepared to consider allowing the investigation of the areas in which the ‘lost’ sections are lying.
		Newport City Council recently publicly announced in the Press (South Wales Argus 16th January 2003) that the Bow and Stern are to be recovered.

		The central section of the ship and bow section (but alas not the stern) have now to been excavated and Newport City Council's proposal is, once the long programme of conservation and analysis has been completed, to put the ship on permanent display in the basement of the new Arts Centre.
		The ship's site, on the edge of the former Friary fields, and the possible presence of cradles supporting the ship indicates it could be a monastic vessel, berthed for repair, and either abandoned during the Wars of the Roses, or impounded during the Reformation.
		The ship is of immense significance in considering the evolution of maritime technology, for the insight it can provide concerning the very important mediaeval port of Newport (the equal of Bristol) and for information on Wales's international relations 550 years ago.

	The discovery and lifting of the Newport Ship - Conservation News 81 - UKIC Furniture and Wood Section Newsletter
		Until late July, dating of the ship was based on the artefacts found within her and upon structural details.
		Initially thought to be seventeenth century in date, partially due to the well-preserved nature of the timber, as excavation progressed various pieces of evidence began to suggest she was somewhat older.
		Because the ship was essentially a rescue excavation - with an eleventh hour rescue package - long-term forward planning had not been possible, although intelligent speculation meant that we were ready with lists of possible suppliers when the moment came.

	Royal Links for Newport Ship
		Warwick therefore allowed his ships to indulge in piracy to boost his finances, and large numbers of Spanish, Portuguese and Breton ships were captured.[3] In the event Edward successfully invaded and landed on the Humber at Ravenspur.
		This is a strong indication the ship was not new and supports the archaeological evidence from the excavation of the Newport Ship.
		The dating of the shores beneath the ship suggest a date of 1468 or soon after for its final resting place in a tidal creek of the River Usk.[5] However the ship itself is likely to be of an earlier date.

	The future of Newport's Mediaeval Ship
		The decision to display the ship in the basement of the Art Centre represents a lost opportunity to present this ship alongside the other boats recently excavated in the area and the numerous maritime artefacts currently in storage.
		Newport City Council have at this point yet to convene an expert panel of advisors to consider a long term plan for the post excavation work on the Newport Ship, including cleaning and recording the timbers and small finds, specialist reports including dating and provenancing the ship, computerised reconstruction, publication, and conservation prior to re-assembly.
		The Friends of the Newport Ship believes that no contract has been placed at this time for the necessary post excavation work and detailed recording and that the recently publicised dispute over payments to the Gwent Glamorgan Archaeological Trust represents a serious threat to the project.

		Almost all combatant ships are the first stage of the various weapon systems found aboard them.
		That is, the ships are the platforms which carry the heavy machines that constitute the second stages of the weapon systems.
		Moreover, ships expend imprecise ordnance rapidly when engaged in combat, and neither returning to port nor replenishing daily underway is desirable during hostilities.

		However the ship was so large that it is thought that the extra masts would have been necessary to steer the ship.
		Likewise it probably had a rudder attached to the stern - instead of a steering oar on the starboard side, as used in earlier ships.

		These financial arrangements are a matter between Newport CC and the Trust but you will be pleased to learn that last week Newport agreed to release one of the payments and the Trust is no longer facing the financial difficulties previously reported in the Press.
		I understand that Newport is currently discussing the archaeological arrangements for recovering whatever survives of the bow and stern of the vessel.
