Description

In 1937, at just 19 years old, the author uncovered the remains of an ancient boat at Ferriby on the Humber shore, beginning a remarkable 50-year journey of excavation and archaeological research. Carbon-14 dating later revealed that the Ferriby Boats were constructed before 1000 BC, making them among the oldest plank-built vessels ever discovered outside Ancient Egypt and the Aegean. These Bronze Age craft predate comparable Northern European boats by half a millennium, representing a significant chapter in maritime history. This Routledge Library Editions volume presents the author's firsthand account of the discoveries that reshaped understanding of ancient seacraft technology and Bronze Age boat-building techniques across Northern Europe.
