SHIP SHAPE: Newport's Medieval Ship - 10 years on
ShipShape: AHRC Film commemorates 10th anniversary of Newport Ship discovery
In 2002 the remains of a medieval ship were discovered during the construction of a Theatre and Arts Centre, on the bank of the river Usk in Newport, South Wales.
Ten years on, The Newport Ship remains the most substantial, and arguable the most important medieval ship found in Britain in modern times. The recovery of the ship in 2002 captured the imagination of Newport and sparked strong local support for its rescue and display, mirrored by widespread academic interest.
An ongoing funding commitment from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) in a project led by Nigel Nayling, Associate Professor, University of Wales, Trinity Saint David, has been instrumental in the conservation, reconstruction and display of the ship.
In this short film we hear from Nigel Nayling who gives us a history of the ship's discovery and tells us how AHRC funding is helping Newport unravel the secrets of this mysterious vessel.
After discovery, the ship was dismantled and the remains were excavated piece-by-piece and stored in large freshwater containers to prevent decay. A total of 1,700 ship timbers and over 600 associated timbers were retrieved and catalogued. With the help of AHRC funding, each individual timber was painstakingly recorded using 3-dimensional recording arms to produce a digital record of the ship's key structural elements.
Each of the waterlogged timbers is now being chemically treated to remove contaminants such as iron and sulphur. Once treated, the timbers are put in a giant freeze dryer to get rid of the water. Drying is scheduled to finish by 2014, and it will take another three years to rebuild the ship.
In the meantime public interest (demonstrated by tens of thousands of visitors to the Newport Ship Centre) has needed to be sustained. This has been achieved through the production of a 1:10 scale model of the ship which was built using pieces modelled from the 3D digital records.
The AHRC also funded an interim exhibition, of which the 3D model formed the centre piece, which addressed some of the most common questions asked by the public such as What did the ship look like?, How big was the ship?,and How much cargo could it carry?
Feedback from public responses to the exhibition has been used to help develop display concepts for a permanent display of the ship once all the timbers have been treated and dried, and the ship has been reconstructed.
The exhibition, and the AHRC-funded research underpinning it, was achieved through partnerships between the Newport Museum and Heritage Service (keeper of the ship) and the University of Wales, Lampeter, which has provided archaeological consultancy support since the ship's discovery.

The Newport Medieval Ship in Context
The Newport Medieval Ship in Context: The Life and Times of a 15th Century Merchant Vessel Trading in Western Europe
Toby N. Jones and Nigel Nayling
This paper presents a summary of recent research into the broader economic, cultural and political world in which the Newport Medieval Ship was built and operated. Digital modeling of the original hull form has revealed the dimensions, capacity, and performance of the vessel. Examination of the individual ship timbers and overall hull form have led to a greater understanding of shipbuilding and woodland resource management in the late medieval period. Archaeological research has helped to illuminate the origins of the vessel and revealed details about its use-life. Direct evidence of trade between the Iberian Peninsula and the British Isles has been uncovered, along with clues relating to the origin and size of the crew and general aspects of daily-life on board the ship. In addition, the online publication of a comprehensive digital archive has enabled unprecedented access to the wealth of detailed archaeological data produced by the project.

The Mysteries of the Medieval Ship | PBS America
In 2002 a discovery was made in Wales that would change the way we view medieval nautical history forever.
In the city of Newport, on the bank of the River Usk, a ship dating from the mid-fifteenth century was uncovered during the development of a riverside arts centre. Originally 116 feet long and 27 feet wide, it is the most complete ship of its type and period ever found. Archaeological evidence estimates the vessel’s working life span to be 1449 to 1469, during which time it would have operated in a world of piracy on the high seas and civil war at home.
Join the exciting race as archaeologists excavate, raise and attempt to preserve the invaluable information within this important discovery.

British Shipwrecks: Underwater Archaeology in Okinawa
The Okinawa islands in the south had long been independent as the Ryukyu Kingdom and played a crucial role as the conduit of trade between Japan and the outside world. Naturally, many foreign ships had passed through- in some cases were stranded in the area- and are now found as underwater archaeological sites.

The Business of Fishing
'The Business of Fishing' aims to improve everyone's understanding of the business aspects of the UK fishing industry by showing some of the day-to-day and strategic challenges that fishing vessel owners face and how they overcome those challenges. The video shows the industry through the eyes of four different vessel owners from different fishing sectors and regions of the UK. The focus is on running a successful business while taking care of the fish stocks and the natural environment.
'The Business of Fishing' was screened for the first time at an event at the Mayfair Hotel in London on Tuesday 12 March 2013. At the screening event, the invited audience of policy makers, environmental NGOs, media and industry representatives each had the opportunity to meet vessel owners involved in the film and discuss some of the issues that it explored. A further launch event was held in Edinburgh the following week and several other screenings around the UK and in Brussels followed as popular demand grew. The film has been shown at a discussion event in the European Parliament and to DG Mare at the European Commission in Brussels, to the House of Commons all party fisheries committee in London.

SUMMARY
=======
Cardiff (Welsh: Caerdydd [kairˈdiːð, kɑːɨrˈdɨːð] (listen)) is the capital of Wales, and its largest city. The eleventh-largest city in the United Kingdom, it is Wales's chief commercial centre, the base for most national cultural institutions and Welsh media, and the seat of the National Assembly for Wales. At the 2011 census, the unitary authority area population was estimated to be 346,090, and the wider urban area 479,000. Cardiff is a significant tourist centre and the most popular visitor destination in Wales with 21.3 million visitors in 2017. In 2011, Cardiff was ranked sixth in the world in National Geographic's alternative tourist destinations.Cardiff is the county town of the historic county of Glamorgan (and later South Glamorgan). Cardiff is part of the Eurocities network of the largest European cities. A small town until the early 19th century, its prominence as a major port for the transport of coal following the arrival of industry in the region contributed to its rise as a major city. In 1905, Cardiff was made a city and proclaimed the capital of Wales in 1955. At the 2011 Census the population was 346,090. The Cardiff Built-up Area covers a slightly larger area outside the county boundary and includes the towns of Dinas Powys and Penarth.
Since the 1980s, Cardiff has seen significant development. A new waterfront area at Cardiff Bay contains the Senedd building, home to the Welsh Assembly and the Wales Millennium Centre arts complex. Current developments include the continuation of the redevelopment of the Cardiff Bay and city centre areas with projects such as the Cardiff International Sports Village, a BBC drama village, and a new business district in the city centre.
Sporting venues in the city include the Principality Stadium—the national stadium and the home of the Wales national rugby union team—Sophia Gardens (the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club), Cardiff City Stadium (the home of Cardiff City football team and the Wales football team), Cardiff International Sports Stadium (the home of Cardiff Amateur Athletic Club), Cardiff Arms Park (the home of Cardiff Blues and Cardiff RFC rugby union teams) and Ice Arena Wales (the home of Cardiff Devils ice hockey team). The city hosted the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. The city was awarded the title of European City of Sport twice, due to its role in hosting major international sporting events: first in 2009 and again in 2014. The Principality Stadium hosted 11 football matches as part of the 2012 Summer Olympics, including the games' opening event and the men's bronze medal match.

SUMMARY
=======
Wales (Welsh: Cymru [ˈkəmri] ( listen)) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom and the island of Great Britain. It is bordered by England to the east, the Irish Sea to the north and west, and the Bristol Channel to the south. It had a population in 2011 of 3,063,456 and has a total area of 20,779 km2 (8,023 sq mi). Wales has over 1,680 miles (2,700 km) of coastline and is largely mountainous, with its higher peaks in the north and central areas, including Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), its highest summit. The country lies within the north temperate zone and has a changeable, maritime climate.
Welsh national identity emerged among the Britons after the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century, and Wales is regarded as one of the modern Celtic nations. Llywelyn ap Gruffudd's death in 1282 marked the completion of Edward I of England's conquest of Wales, though Owain Glyndŵr briefly restored independence to Wales in the early 15th century. The whole of Wales was annexed by England and incorporated within the English legal system under the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542. Distinctive Welsh politics developed in the 19th century. Welsh liberalism, exemplified in the early 20th century by Lloyd George, was displaced by the growth of socialism and the Labour Party. Welsh national feeling grew over the century; Plaid Cymru was formed in 1925 and the Welsh Language Society in 1962. Established under the Government of Wales Act 1998, the National Assembly for Wales holds responsibility for a range of devolved policy matters.
At the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, development of the mining and metallurgical industries transformed the country from an agricultural society into an industrial nation; the South Wales Coalfield's exploitation caused a rapid expansion of Wales' population. Two-thirds of the population live in South Wales, including Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and the nearby valleys. Now that the country's traditional extractive and heavy industries have gone or are in decline, Wales' economy depends on the public sector, light and service industries and tourism.
Although Wales closely shares its political and social history with the rest of Great Britain, and a majority of the population in most areas speaks English as a first language, the country has retained a distinct cultural identity and is officially bilingual. Over 560,000 Welsh language speakers live in Wales, and the language is spoken by a majority of the population in parts of the north and west. From the late 19th century onwards, Wales acquired its popular image as the land of song, in part due to the eisteddfod tradition. At many international sporting events, such as the FIFA World Cup, Rugby World Cup and the Commonwealth Games, Wales has its own national teams, though at the Olympic Games, Welsh athletes compete as part of a Great Britain team. Rugby union is seen as a symbol of Welsh identity and an expression of national consciousness.
