An interesting Roman ship wreck, “De Meern 1”, length 25m.
It was wrecked in a winding tributary of the Rhine around the year 190 AD, possibly due to navigational error. Much of the ship’s interior and the captain’s personal belongings were preserved in the cabin, including a collection of tools. It allows an extraordinary glimpse into life aboard a vessel.
On display at Castellum Hoge Woerd, Netherlands
