Brilliant film, these ships company videos are so compelling, hope they are kept going as generating so much interest. Adding to the story of our saxon heritage, the nautical history of the saxon/old english is so important as an island. Well done all involved.
The smooth face of the stem(?) timber and the fit of the scarf - impressive! It’s interesting to imagine the lifts the original shipwrights would have used (lacking chain engine hoists). Thanks for the video!
Nice cinematography, nice editing and a story well told. There must have been a lot of time and effort put in to make this entertaining and informative video. Its a great job you are all doing at Woodbridge. Well done all and thanks to Jon Seal in particular.
Thanks very much for your comment David. It's nice to know you enjoyed the video. The team are doing a magnificent job in Woodbridge. The next video will be out at the end of April, please spread the word!
Have you men had your dna done to ascertain whether you are related to the Anglo-Saxon settlers of East Anglia?? Me and my family had ours done and on my fathers side, we are Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and Slavic! My dna tests linked me to the Billingtons from a former hamlet near Stafford. So I guess I am a Mercian haha. Continue the fine work fellas. Rob.
That’s a great video that tells the story well. It’s a project that I really enjoy working on.
Thanks Brian. I hope we can show the full range of volunteers and what they do in the next few films. It's fascinating.
Nice Shop thank you man
old shipwright saying let your eye be your guide and money the last thing you part with! Brillant film lads .
Love that! Could apply to anything you make or build couldn't it? Even films!

Beautifully made film. What an exciting project. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Thanks Laura. Look forward to a series of paintings of ancient boats in the future!
Please keep the video updates coming. Always looking forward to see the ongoing building for the Sutton Hoo ship.
Thanks Barry. We're aiming for one video at the end of every month for the next 6 months.

Lovely to see the video of the progress. Please provide more. Must come up and see you sometime soon :) From Strake Rivet #364 #633 #1699 and #2356
A trip to The Longshed is a great visit. the ship looks even bigger when you see it for real.
