uncommondream (45) in vehiclephotography • 7 years ago

Yenikapı 12 is one of the 37 shipwrecks discovered in Theodosian harbor during the Yenikapı Salvage Excavations by Istanbul Archaeology Museums. Among other wrecks, Yenikapı 12 deserves a special attention with its cargo amphorae and personal belongings of her crew still on board. Being dated to the 9th century AD, surviving portion of the ship's bottom is 7 meters long and 2,3 meters wide. The research on the shipwreck has been continuously ongoing since 2007 by a team led by Dr. Işıl Özsait Kocabaş of Istanbul University's Division of Conservation of Marine Archeological Objects with the support of Istanbul Archaeology Museums. During the course, the construction technology of the ship was identified at first by full-scale drawings of surviving ship timber. Following reconstruction studies suggest that the original ship was a small merchantman used in coastal seafaring, about 9,60 meters in length and maximum 2,60 width. The ship was propelled with a single lateen rigged mast and steered with a pair of quarter rudders places on both sides of the stern.
