On the beach close to Jolly Roger Pub, Gosport, Hampshire, PO12 4LQ
Try your hand at shipwreck archaeology on the beach! Under guidance from the Nautical Archaeology Society learn how to record a real shipwreck, then use that information to discover the history of the vessel when it was still afloat…
At these morning drop-in sessions, under supervision from experienced archaeologists, participants will use recording frames, tape measures, waterproof paper, and pencils to record the remains of a wooden wreck on the beach between the Explosion Museum and the Jolly Roger Pub. This information will be used in conjunction with pre-prepared historical material to allow the participants to discover the history of this vessel.
Participants will be given safety briefings to ensure they are aware of the hazards on the beach and the supervising staff are all qualified and experienced to keep members of the public safe in this situation.
Participants can take as long as they like to complete the tasks. Could take ten minutes or all three hours.
Wellies are highly recommended!
