I wonder if the this ship’s travelers had any idea of how important and fascinating their journey would become to others, hundreds and hundreds of years later!
There is evidence of repaired damage on the ship which suggests that it was used for a number of years, possibly up to 20 years. We are currently considering, for authenticities sake, if we should also replicate the repaired damage. What do you think?
@@TheSuttonHooShipsCompany My first reaction is to not replicate the repaired damage. From this video, it seems as though you are trying to understand the function of the original ship. The repairs might not have been ideal, and might even be part of the reason it was "retired" and used for the burial.
@@dl7596@ D L Hi, we agree and think that the ship was possibly at the end of its useful life. Mainly because we now know that the iron will react with the oak and loosen the fixings over a 10-15 year period
@@TheSuttonHooShipsCompanys thu hal 👋 as someone that has studied English philology for 20 years, worked as an archaeologist for UCL and around the U.K. for 10 years till 2021, I think you should rebuild as authentically as possible. It is vital we preserve our English history, these are our roots and I am very proud of your endeavours. Keep up the excellent work!
What evidence was there that this was Anglo Saxon? What about the Ancient British who were indigenous to this island from original migrations of 1500 and around 500 BC?
Hi, All the treasures and artefacts found inside the ship are consistent with an Anglo-Saxon burial. In particular, the coins (Merovingian gold tremisses) found inside the purse are all after AD 595. The gold content suggests they are 610-630 and the Ship's style and design are consistent with that found at Nydam in Denmark. This dates to ca.300ad. There is no evidence of this type dating to an earlier period, and it is very different to the Roman-Celtic ships excavated from earlier periods.
How large were the ships used on other bodies of water -- Mediterranean Sea, Caspian Sea, South China Sea? For what were those other ships, especially the larger ones, used? If the Anglo-Saxons were traders, what kind of ships did their trading partners use?
Why are they using wooden dowels when the original had iron dowels? Like the numerous Christian references in the treasure: the boat, the E-W orientation, the crosses and so on plus the moustache on the helmet and the evidence of literacy, all these references indicate Sutton Ho was British, not Anglo-Saxon.
You need to re-read your history. Angles and Saxons had adpted parts of Christianity long before it arrived on English shores. Also the ship itself is distinctively not British, and the ornaments for the helmet and shield are more similar to German and Scandinavian styles than British. And the east to west orientation was used by literally dozens of European cultures.
Absolutely enthralled learning about Sutton Hoo ,its an incredible part of history , a replica ship would be great addition to the story.

Anglo Saxons, Danes, Frisians, Franks etc were already federates within in the late Roman legions and knew Britain.
Fascinating project to recreate an iconic part of our national story.
Proud to support this project.
For an interesting insight, watch the movie, 'The Dig'. Nicely done delve into the real dig.
Who is here after watching “the Dig”?
Not me, It just popped up in my feed. but I did see "The Dig" and really enjoyed it.
It's a boat because it was propelled by hand. The boat has no mast step. Nautica 101.
Was the ship in use prior to it's use in the burial?

wow
Were the Anglosaxons from Scandinavia?
Anglo-Saxons came from Denmark and parts of what is now Northern Germany and parts of what is now the Netherlands I believe.

It's almost identical to Scandinavian ships of the time. The Angles came from Denmark. Ergo...it's a Germanic ship.
Lol.
90feet, that's a long ship!! !!!!
Might it be so large because it's ceremonial and did not need to be seaworthy. A pyramid would make a terrible palace.

what is it doing there?
Do your own research.

@Nick Nicholas And come back when you've investigated the subject.
