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 2nd video shows how the forward section of the keel has progressed in the last 4 weeks. The project is Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
