An attempt to create a digital reconstruction of the Puck 2 wreck hull

Abstract

This paper focuses on the process of documentation and digital reconstruction of the Puck 2 wreck, salvaged in 2005 from an early medieval harbour in the Puck Lagoon, northern Poland. After PEG treatment the wreck timbers were digitally documented according to the methodology developed during the Newport ship project. The individual timbers were then assembled using Rhinoceros software into a virtual model of the wreck as found, which served as a base for the attempted reconstruction of the ship’s hull and its hydrostatic characteristics.
