Bronze age Boat

A Major International Archaeological Discovery
In September 1992, archaeologists from the Canterbury
Archaeological Trust working alongside contractors on a new road
link between Dover and Folkestone discovered the remains of a large
wooden prehistoric boat thought to be some 3,000 years old,
belonging to a period known to archaeologists as the Bronze
Age.
It was a find of both national and international significance
which will shed new light on early seafaring and woodworking skills
in Northern Europe.
