Abstract
Boat timbers, known as the ‘Bruges boat’ were discovered in 1899 whilst digging a canal close to Bruges, Belgium. Despite the small number of recovered pieces, these were useful, and it was possible to make a hypothetical reconstruction of part of a vessel with estimated dimensions. It has become clear, however, that this find is not a coherent shipwreck but the remains of one vessel and at least one part of a second, which were used secondarily to make a revetted jetty or abutment on the bank of a tidal channel that was still active at the time.
