The World of the Newport Medieval Ship : Trade, Politics and Shipping in the Mid-Fifteenth Century Paperback / softback
Edited by Evan T. Jones, Richard Stone
Paperback / softback
Description
The Newport Medieval Ship is the most important late-medieval merchant vessel yet recovered.
Built c.1450 in northern Spain, it foundered at Newport twenty years later while undergoing repairs.
Since its discovery in 2002, further investigations have transformed historians' understanding of fifteenth-century ship technology.
With plans in place to make the ship the centrepiece for a permanent exhibition in Newport, this volume interprets the vessel, to enable visitors, students and researchers to understand the ship and the world from which it came.
The volume contains eleven chapters, written by leading maritime archaeologists and historians.
Together, they consider its significance and locate the vessel within its commercial, political and social environment.
