Figure 13.6 The 17th century Kedelhaven ship, The Netherlands.
Netherlands (Figure 13.6), the Mary Rose, Portsmouth, UK (Figure 13.7), the Wasa in Stockholm, Sweden (Franzen, 1961; Figure 13.8), the Quanzhou ship in Fujian Province, the People’s Republic of China (Green, 1983a; Figure 13.9), and the Shinan ship, Korea (Figure 13.10; Green, 1983a; Green and Kim, 1989).
Steffy, in a series of models, has pioneered a study of Classical shipwreck structures. Using information from the excavation, he has been responsible for the reconstruction of the Kyrenia ship II (Steffy, 1985) and the ship from Serçe Liman (Steffy, 1982), together with construction of a number of other models, in particular, the hull of the Byzantine shipwreck from Yassi Ada (Bass and van Doorninck, 1982). Steffy indicated that one of the main reasons for building an experimental model of the Byzantine wreck was that the ship appeared to violate a number of naval architectural practices. He notes that “If these models helped us to form conclusions, not the least of these was the realization that this ship was not a freak at all, but rather another design from another age with which we had not been familiar.” (Bass and van Doorninck, 1982, p. 84).
