The wreck was identified by maritime archaeologists from @bu_maritimearch, and Sheilah and Martin Openshaw, as the mooring lighter Yard Craft No. 8 lost in September 1903.

How did medieval sailors cook? #MedievalMonday
Discovery of cauldrons and a brazier in Britain's only 13th-century shipwreck suggests they did so on board, where previously it was believed they must have gone ashore to cook.

An INCREDIBLE day yesterday with the @bu_maritimearch team, as the lifted some BEAUTIFUL Purbeck Marble grave slabs which have been sat on the sea bed just outside Poole Harbour for more than 700 years 😍👏 @thetimeteam
Strong winds, no vis, and dealing with every #WAFI under the sun but nothing beats diving on an 800 year old shipwreck in preparation for something big 🧐

Whilst those @DuroDigDiaries @Durotrigesdig sweltered on the Dig today, those lucky folk at @bu_maritimearch had a wonderful time looking at fishes under Swanage pier. Mark was so chilled he just sat on the bottom! Even @derekpitman bailed the hot dig to join us by sea! – at Swanage, England
