Newport Medieval Ship
The Newport medieval ship is a mid-fifteenth-century sailing vessel discovered when archaeologists investigated an articulated timber structure uncovered during the building of the Riverfront Arts Centre in Newport in June 2002. The site is on the west bank of the River Usk, which runs through the city centre. The remains of the ship suffered some damage from the construction work, but still represents a substantial find of a late Medieval ship, together with significant artefacts and environmental material. Previously called simply the "Newport ship", the official name of the vessel is now the Newport Medieval Ship, to help distinguish it from other historical vessels.
