The Newport Medieval Ship was excavated by a team of archaeologists and lifted from the ground timber by timber.
It was discovered in the banks of the River Usk in June 2002 during construction of the Riverfront Theatre.
The work is uncovering new and exciting information allowing us to learn much more about the Newport ship, including its original size and shape, where it was built, the different parts of the world it sailed to, and what its cargo was.
