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.
