- This documentary looks at a giant ancient artefact recovered from the banks of the river Usk in Newport, It has been described as one of the most important medieval maritime finds ever discovered.
Dubbed the Newport Medieval Ship, the amazing discovery was excavated by a team of archaeologists and lifted from the ground timber by timber.
This documentary looks at the struggle to preserve the 500 year old artifact and the fight to rebuild it. This documentary is new to youtube.
Many thanks to newportship.org/ all proceeds from this documentary will go towards the restoration project.
Thank you! Absolutely incredible! The vessels, the people all coming together in love of archaeology and history, and the idea of a 4000 yr maritime museum! I would love to see that! Thank you for a truly uplifting video!
Seems i'm spending more time on British Docs then anything else.
Cheers from the USA
Me too! All of our "History" Channel crap is .. well, crap! It's all entertainment. THIS is good stuff! KUDOS! What a fabulous discovery. I'd be "dancing on the car park" like Kate, too! :-)
ramairgto72 American history channel has such intellectual shows like pawn stars or American pickers.... then let's not forget swamp man and forged in fire
British, Documentary TV shows are at a handful compared to the same media outlet in most other countries, etc - because of the huge funds the UK "gives out" for historical, archaeological, news purposes, research and conservation. They do pride themselves in the history and greatness of their several bits and pieces - although I would love to see more shows from outside the UK, like southern Ireland, etc - as the Historical Journey does not end with the UK.
This might sound biased, since I am from there, but Portugal too has the same or more History to tell than any other Brit, but we don't have the cash, or Diplomatic support for History and Culture as Britain has, also due to their Monarchy, obvs.
What I mean is, you can't imagine how much of this is about Politics.
How much History is lost to everyone but, honestly, mostly the Americans - whom mostly still believe Portugal is either Spain or nowhere else altogether.
A shame, and I can only hope that people realize how many amazing MISTAKES, and GREATNESS where made in ancient times. Undoubtedly, Europe can show us a variety of those past ordeals - so that we can all become better HUMANS and learn to respect the Planet we live in, after we seemed to have "forgotten" or were manipulated to learn ONLY what OTHER PEOPLE taught was needed for our education.
I hope the XXI century is a turn of mutual, global conscience amongst people - leading them to learn through the internet all the things the media and the papers have kept out, either for financial or political purposes. I honestly believe the media and consumerism turned people dumb, in the last 40 years - so much so - that "we" (not me honey) have become somewhat pliable to their wishes, and blind to greed and ego - monstrous, giants mouths that consume everything around us, and give little or nothing, in return.
If only people knew more about the mistakes we made in the past, they wouldn't be so quick to repeat them.
lel *thought
Maybe that's because we don't have thousands of years or barely hundreds of years of history, right dumbass?
Very interesting. I love the relaxed style of British documentaries as compared to the over-the-top, frantic style of documentaries from the U.S.
There is a problem with volume leveling in the video, however, which I didn't really notice until an ad came on that was cranked up to 11.
Excellent stuff! Many thanks from Herefordshire. Newport has many interesting and worth visiting historical features. Shame the the national and local government do not think the people worth the effort of supporting.
Wonderful find. I,d be excited too! Thank you people of Newport for saving a piece of your heritage. Syria should be this lucky.
Bravo,people of Newport,very well done !
This is just wonderful! I love the feeling that people have who are working there. And how time stands still for them as they uncover the past. They relate to the people who were with that ship as if they are still there!
It's disgraceful that all of these amazing finds are locked away in storage and not on display for people to see!!
What a wonderful find! I'm sure the people of Newport are happy, as well as the rest of Wales! It's truly a national treasure, or a world treasure! This video was published in 2016, but the ship was actually discovered in June 2002. It's now in a warehouse, still being carefully preserved and studied. It turned out to be too big to fit into the new arts center, after all. But it IS saved! More info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newport_Ship
I am happy they have saved the ship. And being of Welsh descent, I pray that the concept of a museum display of the ships found, a physical presentation of the history of ships in Wales, be built.
The tourists would come. The revenues would flow. The story would be told proudly, for all to see.
Me to I come from the cumbra cumber district near festdiniyok what part of Wales are you contacted with and do you know Mr schuman or Mr Jones-butler?
Amazing, the dedication to preserve history is commendable.
I can't understand that so many high ranking council workers don't understand the word........ " HERITAGE".
Because heritage does not equal the god almighty dollar!!
hallets1956 So true..... I bet they got that "Oh Shit !!" feeling when that was found.

Typical of councils everywhere, they throw money at stupid works that satisfy councilor egos but never have anything for important things such as this.
and the homeless..
And education
I’m surprised the mayor and council ‘ran away’ instead of getting in front of / getting on board with saving the ship??? What kind of politicians don’t know a golden opportunity to be seen as a ‘hero’ like this?? And why didn’t the builders step up and become heroes by not insisting on being paid 8000 pounds per day for delays?? Don’t they understand the awesome PR value that would have??
There is a big difference between creating something and destroying something.
There is always time to create something.
But when something is destroyed, it's gone for ever.
in order to create something... you must destroy what it was. Both words, create and destroy are contextual descriptions from the viewpoint of the observer. Exactly the same.
bla bla bore
***** NO !!!!!! They are not.......
They are OPPOSITES !!!
No relatives, comparatives, or contextuals about it.
OLAV WILHELM Where you being sarcastic or what? How much of this documentary did you watch? So sad if you did not find this interesting to leave a negative comment.
@@nicemutant what r u on about??? u got 0% clue what ur on about mate!!!
I enjoyed the human factor in this documentary, will wait for the next step of methods of preservation and assembly to see the finished project. Thank you
A thoroughly enjoyable documentary. Thanks for the upload.
One would think the Prince of wales would cough up the money 💰
Thus fantastic find yet again shows that serendipity is alive and well.
Absolutely brilliant work.
This is fantastic. Thank you for posting this!!!!
I'm in awe..all videos and documentaries are spectacular.Thank you for all the shares Disclose😃

It's obvious that you have never studied, in a college or university, archaeology. Forbidden Archaeology is fun to watch, but it's pretty much balderdash. Anyone who feels the call of real history and archaeology will be amazed and delighted by this find. All of the citizens of Newport, Wales, have been passionate about their ship. That alone makes this real documentary valuable; the ship is astonishing and I'm sure I'm not alone in being grateful that it's been posted. Thanks to the poster!
As someone how appreciates the value to the truth to be found in "Forbidden Archaeology" I too, am 'grateful' that this video was posted
Portugal/Wales Great Celtic country's, always...:)
All eleven people saved this magnificent piece of history
I wonder if the dead of that ship will haunt the orchestra pit of the Theater because their grave was violated?
No.
It is quite possible that a small ship can sink in a river and not kill anyone. So what leads you to believe there were any dead on this boat?
A Good Video, and a great ship of Portugal and their many many explorers to mention some ; Vasco Da Gama Alvares Cabral , Prince Henry the navigator , Pedera Gouveia , Tristan Cunha , Pero Covilha , Nicolau Coelho ,Jao Corte Real , Afonso Paiva , from a world leader at the time. Thanks for posting.
Great....Dover...we learn every day......Amazing.... Portugal my home
Glad you enjoyed it!
The sad truth about these wonderful finds is the fact that it takes horrendous amounts of money to deal with them. And wherever they are, there is usually a building crew and city council howling about how much money they are loosing while they wait for an archaeological team, underfunded, to try and get the finds dug up and moved away as quickly as possible.
In this case it seems that the city council has habit of wrecking anything of historical value in order to slap up modern tat as quickly as they can. There doesn't seem , in this film, to be anyone on the council with any kind of college or university education. If you have no one with a higher education that high school on the council, no one will understand the need for preserving the community's heritage. There is no one who understands the need for actually getting some expert help to manage the building of an adequate viewing space for the areas fabulous ship finds. Done correctly, a museum/ research facility that displays all the boats and ships would bring in a lot of tourist dollars, as well as global acclaim for saving terribly important archaeological finds.
S.O.S.= Save Our Ship. By preserving our past, we insure our future. God Bless, one and all.
40,000 visitors @ 2 pounds donation would have raised some dosh for further work on it!
If the public wants badly enough to preserve the ship they will support the endeavor with their pocket books. As many as are interested, all giving a modest amount aught to do the trick. That would take the financial pressure off of the local government.
Lot of comments on here that don't seem to realize this ship was found in 2002. The ship has been preserved.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newport_Ship
Absolutely awesome find...
What a bunch of IGNORANT politicians. Shows you they work for corporations NOT the people!
My left ear loves this
That was awesome ,all the way from Nova Scotia, or New Scotland we are also called, Canada. God bless.
That lily- livered Mayor should be sacked for dereliction of Duty, fancy running away like a scalded Cat when the Petition approached.In Fact by the look of it the WHOLE Council should go, Hooray for the People. Don't re-elect the Whimps, find better Councillors.
everyone asks how they could cover up artifacts and fossils. Notice how most discoveries are made by workers or everyday people who then have to notify someone about it making it easy to be on the scene long before anything is published or leaked in a way that can be corroborated well.
More colorful personalities are a NECESSITY !!!!!
Pretty cool, thanks for the upload
Nice ship building technology for as old as it is
Just scanning utube and it is nice to find a video that is not one of these ancient astronomers \ ufos etc.
Yes but the old pilings are stinging right up from the ship so...did they just not care first time around in the old building?
cool thanks for posting what a find
I do hope that in talking about the crack in the mast step the man making all those assumptions took note of the fuck off concrete pile driven right through the boat at that point. 11:36. Though these are archaeologists so anything is possible. I have heard them make a case for foreign invasion based upon a single coin find. I am waiting for one of them to find something he or she cannot explain and them casually label it as a "religious object" and forget it. This whole mast step story sounds like a bit of cash gathering myth making to me.
when I started in the building trade in the late 80's still loads of things were getting smashed up in the City Of London area if the building firms could get away with it. Even skeletons were smashed up and skipped,, depending on how bent the building companies were.
haha luv how that Mayor just took off!
beware not to waken the souls on-board, they be in a bit of a bad mood if ye be taken their ship.
God bless the historians
I completely agree that the actions of the local council are disgusting, but I wonder why it seems that the groups wanting to save the ship didn't take the initiative to raise money to save it instead of waiting for "someone to come forward".
I realize that the UK is very different from the US, but I would think that the visitors and especially the residents of Newport would want to contribute and really make it theirs by assisting in its preservation.
Don't wait for do-nothing politicians start raising the money yourself. While big donors are great a handful of change from everybody interested in it would give you a heck of a start
Sound on this video only works for one speaker not 2 .
my right ear is lonely
my leftear loved this docu!
Interresting documentary, shame about the terrible sound!
I wish my relatives never left the motherland so much rich rich history...
So a theater and "arts center" take precedence over such an extraordinary historical find? Really? A "theater?" A THEATER??? A building that will maybe draw a few local elite at best, when the ship preserved and on display would draw tourists from all over the world. Sounds to me like, as is usual, a few greedy and wealthy individuals in bed with city government officials intent on having their pet project, to hell with what the mass of the population would like to see. Tourism would bring much more income to the local economy that a stupid theater and "arts center" for the few who care for such crap. No one travels internationally to see a stupid theater! Good lord, save the ship and put the stupid theater in an alley somewhere where it belongs! Or how about put the theater in the damned basement???
Thanks for posting, by the way. Love the video and subject.
+Ray Elkins I agree ,but it needs to be it can be taken care of .I.e. London will take it..and a replica sent back to the town.
Hi Ray, having been to this arts centre. It is not for the "Elites", as you put it. It is a "community arts centre". However, if you understand the local dynamic in South Wales, great emphasis is put on arts, theatre and cultural learning at a community level. I agree with the sentiment you put forward though. History should be preserved.
Adam Stonehouse well said Adam.
thanks, truthfully I don't understand or know anything about the way things work there in South Wales. Here, an arts center and theater are something that takes up more space than it is worth and depends on tax dollars to keep the doors open. Such things are usually the pet project of a politician or a wealthy business person who has some land they want to make a profit on and funnel tax dollars into their pockets. We have a tax to pay for city parks, sports complexes, and other "community" facilities used by a minority levied on the entire populace instead of the users of the city park being responsible for the cost and upkeep.
In some instances though, such as in Kansas City, KS with the "Steamboat Arabia" exhibit, city governments are finally learning that tourism is much higher when there is something to see that is of greater interest to the masses.
My point really was that the ship should take precedence over any new construction that can be built anywhere. The ship is already there. The new building can be built somewhere else. The ship has more potential, or at least in my humble opinion, of bringing in far higher numbers of tourists than a theater or arts center that interests mainly the local population at best. I say because I don't personally know anyone who buys airline tickets and plans a vacation to see a theater or community anything in another state or country, but they (myself included) will do the same to see historical displays of such importance as this ship. Too many (entirely too many) historic buildings and sites have been destroyed already to be replaced with office buildings, condos, or in some cases simply parking lots when every single one of these new structures could be (and should be) built somewhere else and leave our dwindling history intact or future generations. I know in the UK and all over Europe, historic buildings are destroyed regularly to make way for new construction. I understand (at least from the video) that the ship is no longer in danger of destruction, but I understand there is still a question of where to display it.
I apologize for maybe appearing to dog the local populace as I truly did not mean to offend the pride of local people. It is the suits and ties with tunnel vision and a reckless agenda that I wish would open their eyes and see past their own potential profits. I feel they should consider what interests the larger group, whether it be a site or structure that interests the country or possibly the entire world. :-)
Hey at least I didn't rag on the uploader of the video over the title. :-D lol, have a great day Adam, and thank you for explaining and helping me understand a little more about the situation.
It's sad that the Brits have to monetize their history.
Why?
It bust be a low water table there to
Looks like that council need to save the money to build another mosque.
Shame someone didn't checkout the volume before posting, its quite distracting.
So what was your point Shelly? Interest in history is up to the individual. You have never seen other publications I gather.
Portuguese? not likely. The newest dendrochronology (dating of tree rings) studies are helping corroborate that the wood of the trees used ( not to mention its trademark shipwrightery ) are almost undeniably the same used in constructions of that time in the Basque Country from Araba and Nabarra,

Pretty dull, if you're looking to actually see a wreck. This is pretty much all discussion. Virtually no show. While I can appreciate the discussion and what it means, it's not what I was looking for in a "shipwreck documentary".
Solomon Terra lol what did you expect to see from a 500+ ship that's been under dirt for hundreds of years tut
Is this the ship that is recorded in the Archiaves of Warwick Castle ? After Kingmaker beheaded the Earl of Newport after his capture in a battle .Since Kingmaker want his property. Need to get to Newport to have a look at it now its preseved.
Some people wanted me to go and see it when it was being excavated. Mind you simlar people wanted me to look at the Menin Gate sadly didnt have the time then.
I think Newport could have got a much more modern boat for the money. One who had also been seaworthy.
I think it is about time to elect new public officials.
stiil a whole ship good job mate
does anyone know what is happening about this bit of our heritage ?
I'm from Newport, remember this happening, tight fisted Labour council. The chippy is the best in Wales by the way.
hmm,giant underwater artifact discovery,>>?
Bull poo
How does a boat get buried on land ?
Is this on display yet?
Those counselors are short sighted fools
It there history and they don't want to show it off. By restoring those ship would bring in so much money in the end.
I think your right, I'm an American however part of my roots go back to Wales in 1210 as part of the Evans family, this is so fascinating and wonderful:)
Fuck me. Where did you learn English?
Why are you asking this?
Who was he talking to.
I don't even know, he's just a rude monster
i wondered if the land owner and builder are compensated for the massive delay on the building development project
Interesting subject but as far as the video, wrong wrong wrong aspect ratio. Do you even understand what that means? It means that the original video was produced at 4:3 and you stretched it out to 16:9. I don't know, maybe you like wide flat heads. Basic amatuer mistake and In my opinion makes this unwatchable. Many better examples of videos of this type out there.
I was interested in watching this video but not enough to sit through loads of ads. Ads pop up in the middle of sentences and interesting bits and you lose the thread and interest. 😡
shame about the sound quality otherwise good job
I find situations like this depressing. There are many artefacts like this wonderful ship squirrelled away in storage most of them unknown to the public. This, to me, is criminal. Humanity has a long, fascinating, sometimes glorious, sometimes not so glorious history that everyone should be able to share. Only by learning from the past, can we avoid repeating mistakes made. I just wish the powers that be would instill a greater grasp of the subject in our indoctrination centres..... sorry, schools.
no sound???
Did she say that Columbus sailed from Portugal?? WTF 2:31
Spain and Portugal were leading marine powers and merchants long before the English and French caught up with exploration.
+B Trotz it's Vasco da Gama and he is portuguese, he founded the Sagres naval school. Columbus was italian but sayling for the spanish crown but before he sayled for the spanish he sayled for the portuguese who refused to suport him because of his failures. actually he wasn't a very good saylor, did you know that when he arrived america he thought to arrived in india? thats why he called the natives indians. you can see on a map his huge miss navigation, lucky man but not a very good saylor
raise a boat
raise taxes
Wow so they will give the people or Newport so long as the government makes money of of it!
Thats a good ship, they should save it.
Another US citizen here. Have there been any more news on a display for all of the boats and ships that were found?? I haven't been able to find out anything! Of course, I am a total dinosaur when it comes to computers. Please, will someone tell me what has been done with them?

Everybody wants to know the secret to the universe and many believe there is no official answer. Fortunately, one group of people have figured it all out mathematically. This is the film that exposes the universal secret that interconnects all of math, all of science, and all technologies around a simple 9-digit equation that is inherit in nature. Everything you ever learned in school will be challenge as the evidence to the claims above are sitting within this film!

This is so amazing, everyone is so excited about saving their slave ship!!
It carried wine, not slaves. Moron.
Annoyed by ads and that white thing in the top, left-hand corner.
Racist.
A left-ear video... /done
She didnt find anything.. The construction workers found it.. Big difference
wonder what the situation is now? 2022
Billions of pounds have been spent on raping Egypt and other ancient sights of their treasures only for a lot of the artifacts to end up in some 'Fat Cat's' collection. It is incredible that at home people are not prepared to come up with the resources and cash for a project which is so important. It is great that this ship will be on public display.
I have researched a lot of history and have found the best way to do this is to research a family. When you do this you discover that ordinary people make history. If you destroy ancient artifacts like this boat you are destroying your Own Family Heritage and History. You have a right to take a project to preserve such a find personally. It is easy to be blase about such a find. But such finds actually help you discover your own personal identity. Believe me this is absolutely true.
Even though the video sound and presentation were not the best quality the fight to keep such a PERSONAL TREASURE is ALL TOO IMPORTANT.
When studying my own family history I have uncovered my families and my own identity and even though we are peasantry, all these artifacts are linked to us. We in the 'Grand Scale' of things were as important as the royalty and nobles.
On researching another family group I have discovered an incredibly exciting past. They are descended from ancient Rome (even before Romulus and Remus. Frankish nobility, Anglo-Saxons and Brigantes. This covers almost the entire ancient world. They, being ordinary people are amazed.
While the saying "Each to their own is true.", no one can predict that their progeny will not love History and its treasures the way I do. It is vital to protect it for them.
VERY POOR SOUND!!!
The video couldn't have just said "Giant boat" as the title, Could it? :P
Audio is Mono, left speaker only :( Before uploading something like this again, its very easy to make it stereo with a few clicks post production of the video (during editing).
i found things that dated 2000 years old
I found a tediously dull comment about your discovery.
some direct democracy could of gotten this done instead of gov and its bureaucracies telling them no, even after the archeological dig up was approved they go on and say how its gong to be displayed to their dismay

Cue the phlegm cough.
