Abstract

The process used to rescue the remains of a late ninth-century wooden boat is described. The operation was mounted with considerable speed due to the impending flooding of the site, but nevertheless the ‘wreck’ was fully recorded and a plaster mould made of the hull before the planking was dismantled and lifted.
