Sailing is an adventure that comes with the threat of wreck, and excavating wrecks is a risky business.
The Studland Bay Wreck lies on the seabed to the south of Poole Harbour. Some think she hit Hook Sands – Poole’s sand flats – on her way into port. The ship is a ‘caravel’ – a small, speedy ship. Caravels were used for exploring and discovering new lands in the 1400s and 1500s.
See all sorts of things salvaged from the Studland Bay Wreck, including cannon balls, in Poole Museum!
