How did they build boats in the Bronze Age? That is a question that academics from the University of Exeter hope to find out in the coming months in a new installation and exhibition at National Maritime Museum Cornwall. In a project that is set to last 5 or more months, professional boatbuilder Brian Cumby and a team of volunteers are re-creating a large replica Bronze Age stitched boat using traditional tools and materials. This video shows the progress for the first month and we shall continue the series monthly.
