Boats, Ships and Shipyards: Proceedings of the Ninth International Symposium on Boat and Ship Archaeology, Venice 2000

Contributors in marine archaeology, anthropology, and nautical history report on recent research on Mediterranean ships, reconstruction of ships, shipyards, island boats, galleys, North European Medieval and post-Medieval ships, and the creation of replicas, in these papers from a December 2000 symposium. Some specific topics include nails for shipbuilding, alternative methods for finding evidence for pre-and early historical inland water transport, 11th-century ship types of the North, and two Slavonic boat reconstructions in the open air museum Gross Raden.
