Help bring the Newport Medieval Ship back to life to through an animation based on archaeological research into its origins and construction

https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/newport-medieval-ship-visitor-centre-animation

What is the Newport Medieval Ship

The Newport Medieval Ship is a fifteenth century merchant vessel unearthed in the heart of Newport, South Wales in 2002.

The ship was a formidable three-masted craft measuring over 30 metres in length and capable of carrying around 200 tons of cargo. 

It was brought to Newport for repairs or refit in 1468 or 1469. It is thought that, whilst in Newport, the cradle supporting the ship collapsed. The hull was flooded and the majority of the ship was then taken apart, leaving only the lower hull that we have today.  

These remains have been carefully cleaned, recorded and conserved: conservation of the timbers concluded earlier this year. The project is now focused on planning the reassembly and display of the hull and artefacts.

Visitors can learn more about the history of the ship at the Newport Ship visitor centre.

The Friends of Newport Ship support the work of Newport City Council in the continuing conservation of the timbers and all the other artefacts that are part of this amazing treasure – ‘the Newport Medieval Ship’.

2024 Crowdfunder

In 2023, researchers from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David and Swansea University announced a breakthrough in the dating of the Newport Medieval Ship. Through the use of oxygen isotope dendrochronology (the study of tree-ring data), they have determined that selected structural timbers of the hull were made from oak trees that were felled in the winter of 1457-58.  

The research, published in the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, suggests that the vessel was constructed soon after this and had a working life of about ten years before coming to Newport for repairs.

Previous research has shown that the ship timbers originated from forests in the Basque Country in northern Spain and that the ship was likely built along the Basque coast.

Analysis of the artefacts, cargo remnants and plant remains from the ship have revealed trading links with Portugal.

This crowdfunder will create a new animation which will be displayed in the visitor centre and used as part of the education and engagement activities by the Friends of Newport Ship and Newport Museums and Heritage Service. It will compliment a animation created about the final journey which was created by Dextra Visual in 2022.

The animation will be based on the archaeological research about the origins of the Newport Ship including the 2023 research about ships’ timbers and construction. We are raising funds so the animation is completed in time for the 2024 Friends of Newport Ship AGM.

What We Need

The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is a leading voice for U.S. protected waters, is seeking a Maritime Archaeologist, who will work with the Foundation and NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) as the primary point of contact for maritime archaeology and history. Specifically, the Maritime Archaeologist will be responsible for assisting with the sanctuary designation process in the Eastern Region.

In 2023, the Biden-Harris Administration directed the Department of Commerce to move forward with the designation process for five nominated national marine sanctuaries. Three of those designations are located in the ONMS Eastern Region: Hudson Canyon National Marine Sanctuary, Lake Erie Quadrangle National Marine Sanctuary, and Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary. This designation effort supports President Biden’s America the Beautiful initiative by expanding the National Marine Sanctuary System, addressing inequitable access to the outdoors and supporting locally led conservation.

This is currently offered as a two-year term position. Position may be extended based on continued availability of funding. The Maritime Archaeologist supports the scope of a federal cooperative agreement award between the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation and NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries that focuses on public engagement in the designation process of new national marine sanctuaries. The position is embedded within the ONMS Eastern Region and will initially work remotely in the Great Lakes or in the Mid-Atlantic area of New York, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania, until office space is identified.

The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation is committed to a culture of inclusion, equity, and belonging. We are dedicated to attracting and retaining a diverse staff. We honor experiences, perspectives, and unique identities, and welcome the contributions that you can bring to the dedicated team.

Have familiarity with Sections 106 and 110 of NHPA. Assist with research and data collection to determine eligibility of sites for the National Register of Historic Places.
  • Support diver-based archaeological survey in cold water and support archaeological field survey using sidescan sonar, multibeam and magnetometer operations, deployed from Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs), Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS), including data acquisition and post-processing.
  • Conduct historical research on sanctuary resources.
  • Work on development of maritime and cultural heritage protection, education, outreach, and research programs. Develop outreach products and policy documents. Represent the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries in professional organizations focused on cultural resource research, preservation, and management.
  • Provide content for communications materials, including the development of new content for web pages, social media, exhibits, publications, and other public facing communication efforts.

VLIZ recruits: PhD Researcher Marine Geology

Join our research team as a PhD researcher, working on palaeolandscape reconstruction of the Belgian Continental Shelf.

https://www.vliz.be/en/jobs/vliz-recruits-phd-researcher-marine-geology

Background

We offer a 4-year PhD student position to map and reconstruct the Pleistocene palaeolandscapes of the outer Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS), their evolution through time and connection with adjacent regional palaeolandscapes of the Netherlands, France and the UK. As a PhD researcher you will use state-of-the-art acoustic techniques (high-resolution reflection seismic profiling, ultra-high-resolution sub-bottom profiling and multibeam bathymetric mapping), complemented by sediment (vibro)coring. In recent years a large amount of new acoustic and geotechnical data have been obtained in this area, which are of unprecedented resolution and quality and reveal for the first time that much more of the Pleistocene deposits have been preserved than previously thought. This opens perspectives to reconstruct the palaeo environmental evolution of the area during the Pleistocene, a period for which there are still many questions. As a PhD researcher, you will be based at the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ, Ostend) and enrolled at Ghent University (Department of Geology). The PhD supervisors will be Dr. Tine Missiaen, Dr. Ruth Plets and Dr Thomas Mestdagh (VLIZ) and Prof. Marc De Batist (UGent).

  • Willingness to participate in multi-day marine surveys.
  • Good organizational and interpersonal skills; a team player.
  • Excellent communication skills in English – both orally and written.
  • Highly motivated to conduct scientific research.
  • Critical and creative.
  • Conduct research in accordance with the principles of scientific integrity.
  • Open minded and taking initiative.
  • Passionate scientist, willing to learn new skills and develop excellent research.
  • Willing to work in an international context.

Main responsabilities

  • Conduct an extensive review of existing literature and geological data.
