Newport Medieval Ship

ABSOLUTELY incredible! A true national treasure, a ship hull found in Newpor dating to 1400's, such an interesting visit. I highly recommend.

Highly recommend everyone to visit. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Many details on the research. The ship itself is the only one of its kind served between Bristol and mainland Europe. It may belong to Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, the Kingmaker and was send to Newport for repairing. The council, when they were rebuilding the river bank, was warned that there might be something sleeping in the mud and was advised to buy insurance to cover the salvage cost. They didn't buy and worse than that, they damaged the ship when drilling blindly.

What a fantastic exhibition! The history of this medieval ship is extraordinary! The volunteers goes the extra mile to present the ship in details ! Highly recommended to everyone! Also they have a fantastic little gift shop ! 🚢 ⚓️ ❤️ Free entry, donations are welcomed 🙏

It was nice experience. Everyone has to visit 550 years old medieval ship...

Very helpful volunteers who showed us round. Interesting to see this project in its early stages

This is a must do experience.Free parking,free entry.My childrens absolutelly loved it.They hold a sword,they could try an armor,there was a doctor with very interesting medieval history lesson ,lots of tools,live leach.Another craftsmen was displaying how to make a rope.This was very positive experience and my seven year old boy still talking about it.

Found accidentally due to road closure, but we are lucky to see this amazing exhibition. Very detailed and professional and the volunteers are very keen, helpful and knew a lot of things about the subject and more. Thank you for the fascinating experience. My kids loved the digging area and rats.

Visited today following a quick Google for things to do locally due to sporadic weather.

Safe to say this exhibition was really worth visiting, as it combined both highly interesting artifacts and displays relating to the vessel. But also information delivered by a knowledgable and enthusiastic guide.

My advice to anyone with an interest in this subject is to visit now while you can still experience the artifacts up close before they go off for exhibition. As you are truly surrounded by the very timbers found in the river which are now preserved.
