| Twenty-four separate frame components (i.e., futtock and possible
floor fragments) make up the remains of eleven paired frames associated
with the surviving hull structure. These frame components range
in width from 6.0 to 8.38 inches averaging 7 inches. Though extremely
deteriorated on most upper surfaces, molded dimensions of the frames
appeared to be around 8 inches (20.32 cm) where available for intact
measurement. The room and space figure also varies slightly, but
averages 22 inches (55.88 cm). Botanical analysis of several frame
samples revealed Quercus species or white oak group that was typically
used for most ships constructed in northwest Europe. |
