Description
The Poole Iron Age Logboat: A New Understanding of Britain's Oldest Boat Recovery from Poole Harbour in 1964 marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey for this impressive prehistoric watercraft. Today, it stands proudly displayed at the entrance to Poole Museum, but its story is far more complex and fascinating than its current form. Until now, very little was known about this remarkable vessel beyond its size and the fact that it was designed solely for use in Poole Harbour. Recent multi-disciplinary research has shed new light on its history, functionality, and environmental context, using cutting-edge digital recording techniques to test its capabilities. This book brings together the expertise of conservators, woodworkers, and boatbuilding specialists to provide a comprehensive understanding of this ancient craft. For the first time, prehistorians, nautical archaeologists, and enthusiasts alike can gain a deeper insight into the story of Britain's oldest boat, exploring topics such as timber science, conservation challenges, and its significance in the archaeological record.
