Abstract:		 Sections from five timbers from the Unknown Lowestoft Wreck, located in the North Sea off the Suffolk coast, were retrieved by Wessex Archaeology (ULW 1091), with a view to obtaining independent dating evidence by dendrochronology and so assisting in the process of characterisation, identification, and assessment for designation. The wreck is thought to be a late nineteenth- or early twentiethcentury wooden merchant sailing ship of at least 300 tons. The ship was probably engaged in the home or Northern European/Atlantic trades, although no evidence of cargo has been found. The timber sections consist of one ash (Fraxinus spp), two (Pinus spp), and two of larch or spruce (Larix/Picea spp). Four of the five timbers contained sufficient rings to warrant attempted tree-ring dating. All failed to produce a date when compared to British, European, and American reference chronologies.
