Few more pics. Last week we were steaming the main timbers so it's beginning to look more like a boat.
Removing our very 21st century steam chamber
and bending into place
The first timber bent both ends into a graceful curve.
and this is the four main timbers strapped temporarily together ready for the open day next Tuesday.
just for comparison this is the original boat, 3,500 years old, it was down there 7 times as long as the Mary Rose
Time team have been filming for a bronze age bot special at some stage in the future.
