Rare medieval boat hailed as significant find

[Still Waters]

A 600-year-old medieval boat has been uncovered by archaeologists working on a flooding project in the Norfolk Broads.

The remains of the oak timber frame boat, said to have been well-preserved, have been hailed as a 'rare and important' find by the team.

The six-metre boat, thought to date back to 1400, was found by archaeologists excavating a drainage dyke along the River Chet, near Loddon.

man, that is well preserved, for a wooden ship that old.

it's from the basic things like this that we can learn how ordinary people lived, and that's always worthwhile
