The Sutton Hoo Ship's Company - From tree to plank
In this video, you will see the full process of turning a tree into a plank. The Shipwrights and Volunteers start by cleaving a tree at the National Trust, Sutton Hoo site. You will see Tranmer House in the opening shots where Mrs Pretty lived when the Mound 1 ship was discovered. This particular oak tree was donated by the National Trust at Blicking Hall.
Once cleaved into the sections, this example is taken down to an oversized plank by Volunteers from the 23 Para's Regiment based near Woodbridge. The Paras worked with us for several months at the start of 2023 and will hopefully return in the Autumn. This is heavy work that takes strength and accuracy. If your axe digs in deeper than r...

This short timelapse video shows a group of our Ship's Company volunteers cleaving an oak log at the Sutton Hoo National Trust site in July 2023. The tree was kindly donated by the National Trust at Blicking Hall and will be converted into planking for the hull. To cleave a tree, we start by finding the natural split using metal wedges, which are driven in with sledgehammers. Once established, ...

The tree was lifted into place by James Bye of B...

Просмотров 640Год назад
Early in 2022, we realised that the first stern underloute that we had made was failing as it dried out. The underloute is the first part of the curve of the backbone as it elongates from the straight keel in the centre. It took a long time to decide what to do as nowadays we would simply repair it with modern glues but because we are rebuilding the ship authentically this wasn't an option. The...

      Very good question thank you, we turn the larger offcuts into gifts and souvenirs as part of our fundraising, the chippings go to different rewilding projects for reinstating paths, and we use some of the chippings to mulch the 400 oak saplings that we planted in the spring, other chippings are used at a local horse yard and others are used by gardeners, the bark has been going to a local school for bug houses and bird boxes. The bowls, carvings, pens, key rings, salad servers and many other wood craft products are all branded with our name and sell like hotcakes! We are very grateful to our team of volunteers who ensure that every last piece of timber is used.

    Interesting how modern boat building influences reconstruction efforts. Working on the Hardraade ship in Norway we borrow from contemporary Norlands boat building, here in this film it seems that traditional wooden boat building techniques such as we see the Samson boat company employing. We should co-operate, compare notes and hold a symposium at some point. Thanks very much for putting all the effort into making this film all the best, Lucas (volunteer building a viking ship).

  • @Rafe758

    1:38 that sail with the face looks fantastic. I know you guys aren't building the new replica with a mast, because there was no mast buried with the original ship and the verdict is somewhat out on north sea peoples having begun sailing at all during this time - but what are the arguments for or against? Iv heard mixed info on if Britain and the Germanic tribes had a sailing culture at this point. Wasn't Britain under Roman rule and influence prior, who did have sailing for quite some time already? The angles adopted Roman Christianity, why not sailing? Is the ship believed to have been built in Jutland or somewhere else and only buried in east Anglia? Would love to know. Anyway I love following the project, i think its really great what yo'ure all doing. Keep up the good work!

    • @timkirk3811
      @timkirk3811 6 месяцев назад

      You are correct; there was no mast or other spars found in the excavation - but then there were no oars found, either. The conventional academic argument is (simplifying!) that sail left Britain with the Romans and didn't return until the 'Vikings' brought it back in the 8th century. Also, it has often been suggested that the ship could not have sailed because of its dish-like cross-sections and lack of a projecting keel. These arguments need testing and so, whilst we will not be able to say that the ship definitely did sail, we do intend to fit a mast and sailing rig after the main rowing trials are completed to test out these questions.

    Great video, I am a donnor to the ship, can someone answer this please - as they have rivets from the ship have they chemically tested them to see where the Iron was from? Thanks

    • @TheSuttonHooShipsCompany
      @TheSuttonHooShipsCompany 6 месяцев назад

      Hi as far as we know, the rivets weren't chemically tested, probably because there was too much corrosion and not enough sound metal in the recovered rivets. The rivet we have in the Longshed is in three pieces and has hollowed out over the years, the the cavities were X-rayed to get the original dimensions. As far as we know there were a number of possible sources of iron in Saxon East Anglia. There would have still been a lot of Roman iron available for re-use, bog Iron sourced from under streams and marshy ground - was available, but we do not not know in what quantities. Iron traded from continental Europe could also have been used. The nearest iron ore which could have been processed outside of the kingdom of East Anglia was in somewhat hostile territories and is thought to have been unlikely to have been used. Of course, if the ship was built on the continent then there would have been a number of other sources available.

    Very interesting!, nice that you are going with how the Sutton Hoo ship was actually built, especially the Iron rivets, you naturally called this ship the Anglo Saxon Sutton Hoo Ship? but I am sure that you would really know better? an Anglo Saxon Ship (clinker built) would have Trenails - Wooden pegs (plank atttach) but the SH ship had Iron rivets! which is not Anglo Saxon technique but A British/Welsh Technique, therefore the Saxon Hoo ship was probably British far more than Anglo Saxon as is thought.
