Again, merely for the fact that so many of you previously showed an
interest in the now two Roman ships from the Netherlands (I do
realise this forum is BRITarch  ;-)  ), here is the URL for the
updated photographs (of the ship discovered last week, that is) just
put online by Jeroen van der Vliet of the Council for Dutch
Archaeology:   http://archeologie.kennisnet.nl/schip/gallery/10.html

There is also an English summary of the finds, at
http://www.romeinsschip.nl   The first ship is rightly being called a
'time capsule', a Northern European mini-Pompeij. It is now thought
to have been the ship of a team of army carpenters, with the skipper
living aboard the barge in 'cumfy' surroundings not dissimiliar to
those found amongst his presentday colleagues.
