In 1992, a Dover roadworks crew struck dark timber and unearthed a prehistoric ship lost for 3,500 years
Dover's A20 expansion in 1992 unearthed a Bronze Age boat, a remarkable maritime find. Stitched from oak planks, this 3,500-year-old vessel challenges notions of early European sophistication. Its discovery highlights advanced woodworking and seafaring, proving a thriving marine culture existed long before Roman arrival. Preservation efforts were extensive, making it a testament to ancient ingenuity.
