| Abstract: | At least 10 disused wooden vessels were hulked on the foreshore of the River Tyne opposite the village of Newburn between the 1940s and 1960s. They are seen in a series of photographs taken in the 1960s. The assemblage was archaeologically recorded in 2009, by which time the site consisted of 5 very reduced hulls and a dispersed scatter of parts. This paper describes the remains, concentrating on the construction, development and use of the predominant type on the site, the Tyne wherry. | ||
