Description: | Peck records 'in the year 1811, about a mile from East Ferry, in the moors, was found a canoe, cut from one tree of very large size: I was informed by a brother to the wheelwright who purchased it to break up for pales, that it was in length 40 feet, four feet broad and three feet deep; tapered at each end, and formed without nail or pin. Some human bones were found in the inside. {1}{4}{5}~
Part of an oak dug-out boat was found at a depth of 18 feet in the bank of the trent in 1903. {1}{4}~
Dudley suggests that the 1903 fragment had belonged to the boat mentioned by Peck and had probably been discarded by the wheelwright as being unsuitable for his purpose. {1}{4}~
In 1964 Colquhoun reported that the area of the 1903 find was a modern inlet with brick and timber revetments. It could not be determined whether the differing circumstances refered to the same boat, or to two boats. {1}~
A dug-out boat was found at SE 819 004 in 1903. The surviving portion was four feet in length and c. two feet in beam. {6} | Temporal: | 2200BC - 801BC | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
