SAID, STEPHANIE; McNEILL, EUAN
- Abstract
The remains of a 19th-century barge were found in the Solent whilst undertaking pre-construction geophysical survey works as part of the Interconnexion France- Angleterre 2 cable route (IFA2) project. Investigations culminated in the excavation, recording and recovery of the remains of the wreck. Although no documentation or records of its loss have been found at the time of writing, the remains highlight the importance of vernacular shipbuilding techniques that were applied by independent shipbuilders scattered along this stretch of coastline.
