the Newport Ship (medieval archeology)
[email protected]
A friend sent this to me two weeks ago and I still haven't looked. I'm
cleaning out my e-mail box and also see that during the four days I was off
in Saskatoon at least three people joined this list, and though I kept
meaning to go back and read those days there was a bunch of writing, and I
still haven't caught up.
This is more interesting that that, I'm sure (and the quote starts):
In the summer of 2002 the well preserved remains of a mediaeval ship were
discovered during excavation works for a new Arts Centre on the banks of the
River Usk in central Newport (UK). It is one of the most complete examples of
a ship believed to have been built circa 1465.
The Friends of the Newport Ship has today launched a new website which I
think you will find of interest. It is full of fascinating information about
the ship, photos and details about the association and member activities.
Please visit and let us know what you think - we would also appreciate it if
you mail round details to any others that you think may be interested.

This is very interesting and I've been reading there now for an hour.
Thanks for sending this.
It reminded me, in that round about way of things, of a song my Aunt Eula
use to sing "The Keel Row."
This ship wasn't a Keel, but I have that whole Welsh seafaring thing
happening now.
"As I came through Sandgate, through Sandgate, through Sandgate,
As I came through Sandgate, I heard a lassie sing -
Oh weel may the keel row, the keel row, the keel row,
Weel may the keel row, that my laddie's in.
He wears a blue bonnet, blue bonnet, blue bonnet,
He wears a blue bonnet, an' a dimple on his chin -
Oh, weel may the keel row, the keel row, the keel row,
Weel may the keel row that my laddie's in."
There was more, but I don't remember how the rest goes.

I've never known anyone else with that name either.
Is your great-aunt Welsh?
My Aunt was Eula Gwynnlyn Morgan. I miss her, she was tall and dark and
beautiful and sweet and always singing.
