Lincoln's most famous vessel, the Iron Age longboat by Andy B on Tuesday, 18 December 2007
(User Info | Send a Message)
The canoe built by the City of Lincoln Community College pupils is clearly impressive.

Yet we need to go back to the Iron Age to find what might well be Lincoln's most famous vessel.

The longboat on display at The Collection museum in Lincoln is 7m long.

Amazingly, the dugout boat was made from a single hollowed-out tree trunk. It was discovered in 2001 during flood defence improvement work by the Environment Agency on the River Witham at Fiskerton.

And the site has proved to be rich in archaeological treasures.

In 1981, a timber causeway was unearthed there. It led across the marshy land beside the river, where many valuable objects were once deposited as religious offerings.

Antony Lee, collections officer at The Collection, said: "The longboat was discovered pegged down near the causeway, probably as an offering itself, though nothing was discovered inside it."

Iron Age boat on show at museum by Andy B on Tuesday, 07 March 2006
(User Info | Send a Message)
A boat dating back to the Iron Age has gone on show at a Lincoln museum. The log boat, which has undergone four years of conservation work, is now on display at the city's new archaeological museum - The Collection.

It was discovered in Fiskerton, Lincolnshire in 2001, while the Environment Agency was carrying out improvement work on flood defences.

The 7m-long (23ft) oak boat will complete the museum's display of Iron Age finds from the region.

Councillor Eddy Poll, Lincolnshire County Council's executive member for cultural services, said: "This is a really exciting moment for the museum which will see the culmination of years of hard work.

"This boat is the finishing touch to the Iron Age section of the archaeology exhibition which explores the remarkable range of archaeological finds from Fiskerton."
