The American marine submarine joins

Woodbridge, England – In a remote corner of southeast England, in a boat on the Diben River, the previous US naval submarine saw its career operating in some of the most nuclear -powered ships in the twentieth century had begun on a mission in the past. David “Mac” McDonald is one of the 180 volunteers who build a replica of the ship that has almost under the leadership of a king a year and a half ago.

They are working with Sutton Hoo Ship in the small town of Woodbridge, and their mission is to build a historical accurate cloning to ride the long wood that was discovered on the site, which is believed to be the last place of the Anglo King Saxons.

The residues of the original ship buried in Sutton Hoo were discovered almost a century ago, across the river only from the reconstruction site.

Amid the skeleton of the old ship there was a wealth of Anglo -Saxon artifacts, which, along with A weak story to discover itThe site brought international fame.

Treasure Trove included “Sutton Hoo helmet”, which is the most remains of England England.

The old ship was in bad condition when it was discovered by the amateur archaeologist Basil Brown – more than just a fingerprint in the sand, with a length of about 90 feet.

Because of the relative lack of knowledge about this period in the history of the English language, discovery It was called it One of the most important archaeological discoveries in all ages “by one of the Secretary of the British Museum.

There is a continuous debate about who was exactly buried in a long time, but the widespread theory is that King Rivald from East Anglia was specified in the ship. Among the first English kings to turn into Christianity, and had nothing to do with the current royal family.

The attendance in which the ship is rebuilt from the zero point attracts more than 9000 visitors every month, along with many volunteers. McDonald grew up in New England and then lived in North Carolina for 30 years, but moved to the United Kingdom seven years ago.

He built a detailed furniture who is a coach violin maker, but he put all this aside for a group of Anglo -Saxon axes after a friend of his wife mentioned the project. Now it is part of the Longship family, where he says he “has become a great welcome.”

McDonald said that he and his colleagues from shipbuilding companies can actually imagine a long time with them, and tell CBS news: “We just carve all the wood that does not look like a boat.”

But the project is far from simplicity. It aims to re-create long length using the same methods and tools that the Anglo-Sexus-axes, sections, and clips used to use, all of them are made of designs over the age of 1400 years-and made them deserve the sea.

The construction team started in 2019, hoping to complete the project by early 2027.

Master Shipwright Laurie Walker described the huge time required to manufacture each individual part of the ship. The structure will be made of about 90 wooden panels, each requires between 30-40 hours of work to formulate. These panels will be assembled together about 3,800 widespread iron, all locally made.

Wood used in hand -made parts of the thick ship is as in fashion in the required ingredients. The gardener project, Andy Spencer, said that every tree used as source materials must be chosen based on its length and shape and the absence of unique defects.

Spencer said the ship’s model, for example, was almost 43 feet straight, which requires a difficult search-to be repeated for almost an essential component.

Spencer is also the head of the project re -cultivation program, which aims to cultivate approximately 20 oak tree for each one that has been reduced. The new trees are planted near the place where the long length is under construction, in “Saxon Ship Wood”.

Another challenge to the team is the lack of the historical plans of the Sutton Hoo ship, which was built, “Smack Bang in the middle of a period that we never know anything about,” according to the Chairman of the Project Board of Directors, Sean Macmiellan.

This is not because Anglo-Saxonion did not record their business, but because the Viking raids in the following centuries witnessed many monasteries along the eastern coast of England-where the historical records would keep them-looting and destroying.

As such, the details of the Sutton Hoo burial, which, according to McMillan, “on that day was equivalent to the aircraft carrier,” is inconsistent.

“During the construction, there are a lot of next questions,” Well, how will they do this? “Well, we don’t know, because there is no evidence for that.”

So they have to work with what they have – the supermarkets of the ship that was withdrawn from the clay of Suffolk Province.
