The Ship
The Newport Medieval Ship is a fifteenth century merchant vessel, the remains of which were unearthed in the heart of Newport, South Wales in 2002. Building work on the Riverfront arts centre was paused while excavations could take place. The timbers have since undergone a lengthy conservation process so the ship can eventually be displayed to the public.
