The Boat Beneath the Car Park
\nThe Investigation
\n\"\"<\/h2>\n

It has been an exciting week searching for the boat again.<\/strong>
\nIt looks as if the uncovering in 1938 has caused a lot of the exposed timbers to rot but samples of the wood and iron have been taken for analysis.
\nThe analysis that will hopefully be able to age the craft.<\/p>\n

We will release some image of the investigation on these pages soon as well as a complete write up of the week long investigation.<\/p>\n

Help in the investigation<\/h5>\n
