I can believe that those are parts of a vessel of some kind - but whether a vessel could survive 500 years that exposed I find harder to swallow

The Foulkes yard will have it on Apolloduck by the end of the week.

In terms of tourist appeal I think they might have their work cut out. They will also have to watch out for the Hamble worm if they are going to excavate.

When I first saw the thread I thought I've had a run in with HM Navy

Couple of hundred yards from our berth......

That is just a picture of the Hamble, not the actual location. More accurate story in the Mail, surprisingly, with aerial photo of actual location, second bend above the M27 on east bank.

Ah that makes more sense - I guess they must have some documentary evidence to be able to name the ship from that photo

..second bend above the M27 on east bank...

It fitted under the bridge?

It fitted under the bridge?

The masts had previously been removed for re-use, and at low water no problem. :encouragement:

 

[Firefly625]

oh, now I see this photo I realise how the previous photo I posted was just ridiculous. With this picture the wreck is clear to see. Frankly I can't believe it has taken this long to find.

 

[mlines]

I expect a marina will claim the wreck for non-payment of fees, or Burgundyben will look at it as a viable project boat

 

[Medskipper]

Just a lick of paint and Essex scrapyard will have it up for sale for thousands!

I-m puzzled, as to why, this exciting news about a sailng ship, is on a motorboat forum.

 

[mlines]

It might have been fitted with early KAD engines.

 

[Keen_Ed]

Not MANs?

If they look closely at the stuff ashore they will find the rest of Henry V's fleet !

Boadicea is afloat presently, but hails from an earlier era.
