COFFÁU’R RHYFEL ANGHOFIEDIG YN ERBYN Y LLONGAU-U AR HYD ARFORDIR CYMRU
1914-18

Yn ystod y penwythnos 22 – 24 Mehefin, bydd y Gymdeithas Archaeoleg Forwrol yn cynnal ysgol faes arforol yng Nghlwb Hwylio a Chwaraeon Dŵr Traeth Coch, Traeth Bychan, Môn.

Mae’r digwyddiad yn rhan o brosiect wedi’i ariannu gan Gronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri a sefydlwyd gan Gomisiwn Brenhinol Henebion Cymru i goffáu canmlwyddiant diwedd y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf.

Digwyddiad AM DDIM yw’r ysgol faes, mae ar agor i bawb ac mae’n addas i bob oedran. Felly dewch i ymuno â ni a chymryd rhan yn y gweithgareddau a fydd yn cynnwys:

• Sgyrsiau ar Nos Wener 22 a Nos Sadwrn 23 o 19:00
  (mae tocynnau ar gael ar-lein yn: http://www.redwharfbaysc.co.uk/events.html )
• Arddangosfeydd, Arddangosiadau a Gweithgareddau yn ystod Dydd Sadwrn a Dydd Sul
  (am fwy o wybodaeth ewch i: https://www.nauticalarchaeologysociety.org/WalesUBoatWar )

Yn ystod y penwythnos (os bydd y tywydd yn caniatáu), bydd deifwyr yn plymio i’r môr i archwilio llongddrylliad y Cartagena, treill-long ager a adeiladwyd yn ystod y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf i dreillio am ffrwydron nofio ar hyd arfordir Cymru. Mae bellach yn gorwedd 37m o dan yr wyneb, tua 6 milltir o Draeth Bychan.

Fel rhan o’r prosiect mae Ysgol Gwyddorau Eigion Prifysgol Bangor wedi bod yn defnyddio ei llong arolygu, Prince Madog, i gofnodi safleoedd llongddrylliadau ar hyd arfordir Cymru, gan gynnwys y Cartagena, a bydd y canlyniadau’n cael eu dangos yn ystod yr ysgol faes.

Nodiadau i olygyddion

Mae’r ‘Prosiect Llongau-U’ yn coffáu’r Rhyfel Mawr ar y Môr ar hyd arfordir Cymru. Partneriaeth gwerth £1 filiwn yw hi a fydd yn para am ddwy flynedd ac sy’n cael ei hariannu gan Gronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri a’i harwain gan CBHC. Mae’n darparu mynediad digyffelyb, am y tro cyntaf mewn 100 mlynedd, i olion 17 longddrylliad sy’n gorwedd ar wely’r môr oddi ar arfordir Cymru. Mae’r rhain yn rhan bwysig o dreftadaeth y Rhyfel Mawr ac eto ychydig iawn o ymchwil a wnaed i’r safleoedd gwerthfawr hyn.

• Bydd rhaglen o arolygon geoffisegol morol yr ymgymerir â hi gan y Ganolfan Gwyddorau Môr Cymhwysol, Ysgol Gwyddorau Eigion, Prifysgol Bangor yn ystod y gwanwyn a’r haf 2018 yn cofnodi data aml-baladr cydraniad uchel ar gyfer y 17 longddrylliad a ddewiswyd ar gyfer y Prosiect. Bydd gwaith arolygu ychwanegol gan y Gymdeithas Archaeoleg Forwrol yn cynnwys gwneud ffilmiau fideo o 5 o’r llongddrylliadau hyn a chyfunir yr holl wybodaeth i greu modelau digidol rhyngweithiol 3D i’w defnyddio ar wefan y Prosiect ac mewn arddangosfa deithiol.
• Bydd arddangosfa deithiol y Prosiect yn ymweld â deunaw amgueddfa môr yng Nghymru o fis Gorffennaf 2018 ymlaen, cyn dod i ben ym mis Rhagfyr 2019.
• Mae’r holl amgueddfeydd sy’n darparu cartref i’r arddangosfa deithiol wedi bod yn trefnu rhaglen o weithgareddau cymunedol, lle bydd gwirfoddolwyr o bob oed a chefndir yn ymgysylltu â’r dreftadaeth hon i ddarganfod, datgelu ac adrodd hanesion y bobl a fu’n gwasanaethu ar y 17 long a’r bobl yr effeithiwyd arnynt gan y colledion a’r rhyfel ychydig oddi ar arfordir Cymru.
• Partneriaeth rhwng tri sefydliad, Comisiwn Brenhinol Henebion Cymru, Prifysgol Bangor a’r Gymdeithas Archaeoleg Forwrol, yw’r Prosiect hwn. Y Comisiwn Brenhinol yw’r partner arweiniol, yn ganolbwynt ar gyfer y rhwydwaith o amgueddfeydd ac archifdai ar hyd arfordir Cymru sy’n cynnal yr arddangosfa deithiol, ynghyd ag elusennau sy’n cynrychioli pobl ifanc, personél y lluoedd arfog, a gofal cymdeithasol.

COMMEMORATING THE FORGOTTEN U-BOAT WAR AROUND THE WELSH COAST
1914-18

Over the weekend of 22nd – 24th June, the Nautical Archaeology Society (NAS) will be running a maritime field school at the Red Wharf Bay Sailing & Water Sports Club on Traeth Bychan Beach, Anglesey.

The event forms part of a Heritage Lottery Funded project instigated by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War.

The field school is a FREE event, open to all and suitable for all ages, just come along and join in on the maritime activities taking place which include:

• Evening talks on Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd from 19:00
  (tickets available on-line at: http://www.redwharfbaysc.co.uk/events.html )
• Displays, Demonstrations & Activities during Saturday and Sunday
  (for more information see: https://www.nauticalarchaeologysociety.org/WalesUBoatWar )

Over the course of the weekend (weather permitting), divers will be launching their boats to dive the wreck of the Cartagena, a steam trawler that was built during World War One to trawl for mines around the Welsh coast, but now lies in 37m of water, around 6-miles off Traeth Bychan.

As part of the project, Bangor University, School of Ocean Sciences have been recording World War One wreck sites around the Welsh coast from their survey vessel the Prince Madog, including the wreck of the Cartagena, and their results will be on display during the field school.

For further information regarding the field school, please contact the Nautical Archaeology Society:

Notes for Editors

The ‘U-Boat Project’ commemorates the Great War at Sea around the coast of Wales. It is a 2-year Heritage Lottery Funded partnership project led by the RCAHMW, with an overall value of £1M, which provides unprecedented access, for the first time in 100 years, to the remains of 17 wrecks on the seabed off the Welsh coast which are part of our Great War heritage, but which remain under-researched and under-valued.

• A programme of marine geophysical survey undertaken by the Centre for Applied Marine Sciences, School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University, during the spring and summer of 2018 will capture high resolution multi-beam data for the Project’s chosen 17 wrecks. Additional survey work, involving the Nautical Archaeology Society, will include the capture of underwater video footage on 5 of those wrecks, which will be combined into 3D inter-active digital models for use in the Project www site and a travelling exhibition.
• The Project’s travelling exhibition will visit eighteen Welsh maritime museums from July 2018, before closing in December 2019.
• Each of the museums hosting the travelling exhibition are delivering a programme of community engagement activities, where volunteers of all ages and backgrounds will engage with this heritage to explore, reveal and tell the stories of the people who served on the 17 vessels and those affected by loss and the impact of the war just off the Welsh coast.
• The Project is a partnership between three organisations, the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (Royal Commission), Bangor University and the Nautical Archaeology Society. The Royal Commission is the lead partner, at the centre of the network of museums and archives around the coast of Wales hosting the travelling exhibition, plus youth, service personnel, and social care charities.
