Archaeologists uncover timbers of a medieval ship beneath the Old Quay car park

Oak planks and frames found during drainage works appear to belong to a trading vessel from the 14th century, the most complete ship find ever made in Wrenhaven.

Museum of the Sea opens Knots and Nets, an exhibition of maritime crafts

More than 300 objects, from hand-braided rope ladders to a herring net still smelling faintly of tar, fill the museum's grand hall in a show built around the skills that kept the harbour working.
