Newport Medieval Ship
Review
“The Sun came up upon the left, out of the sea came he! And he shone bright, and on the right, went down into the sea” S. T. Coleridge.
The city of Newport has long had a history intimately connected to the sea, and since the remarkable discovery of a medieval ship on the banks of the River Usk, a team of specialists have been recording, and conserving all 1700 ship timbers and artefacts discovered during the excavation. Visitors are welcomed by the Newport Medieval Ship Project, part of Newport Museum’s & Heritage Service, to come and see this magnificent 15th century vessel, hear the story behind the excavation, and even get to see the conservation process. Friends of the Newport Ship is a charity that produces complex visual reconstructions of the vessel, with 3D animated films being used to communicate the nature of the vessel to the public, making a fabulous, informative day out for all.
