Inner planking
  
 In trench 1 parts of the inner-planking of the bilges and gun deck have been 
revealed, all in solid oak. The photo shows, from top to bottom, the waterboard on top of 
the horizontal lodging knee, and then the inner planking. Much of the ship seems to have 
derived its longitudinal strength from the lodging knees that are fastened with iron-nails 
to the frames and to the deck beam. 
This trench seems to have struck the fire-wood stores of the ship - a log of birch can 
be seen on the photo. Other artefacts include musketshot, a barrel, and a lathe-turned 
elevation wedge.  |
