The first measures approximately 1650 mm in length, 85 mm in width and 90 mm in depth. There are no diagnostic elements visible upon the timber, such as tool marks or fixing points, and therefore its function remains unknown. It does, however, appear to be faced and is therefore unlikely to be a piece of natural driftwood.\n\nThe second piece of wood measures approximately 196 mm in length and 20 mm in width. There is at least one possible nail hole visible and again it appears to have been faced or worked by human hands. It is heavily degraded and this, coupled with a lack of diagnostic details, preclude any comment on its original function or use.\n\nBoth pieces of timber appear to have been at least prepared for use by human action, though how they came to be in the sea or when is unknown at this point. It may be that they relate to ships timbers, originating from a wreck or discarded overboard, part of shoreline installations, such as a pier or jetty, or simpley be lost cargo from a ship carrying timber as cargo. The nail hole in the second piece suggests that this has been used and is therefore unlikely to be cargo, whereas the lack of bolt holes or othwer fixings on the larger timber may suggest the opposite.\n\nThe fact that the larger timber was photographed with with a swivel gun (MAS-D100180) may indicate that it was recovered from the same area on the seabed.", "classification":"SHIP", "periodFrom":36, "periodTo":39, "treasure":1, "TID":"094\/18", "workflow":3, "institution":"MAS", "datefound1":"2018-05-22T00:00:00Z", "subClassification":"Timber", "created":"2018-06-01T09:21:57Z", "updated":"2020-03-26T15:02:12Z", "secuid":"181", "thickness":90, "width":85, "length":1650, "quantity":1, "material":14, "completeness":1, "discovery":15, "createdBy":2, "countyID":14362, "county":"Dorset", "fourFigure":"SY6371", "fourFigureLat":50.53759313, "fourFigureLon":-2.52346561, "what3words":"feeds.passive.slims", "precision":10, "creator":"MAS MAS", "updatedBy":"MAS", "materialTerm":"Wood", "primaryMaterialBM":11988, "completenessTerm":"Fragment", "periodFromName":"POST MEDIEVAL", "periodFromBM":"x41047", "periodToName":"NINETEENTH CENTURY", "broadperiodBM":"x41047", "discoveryMethod":"Diving", "filename":"181_IMG_2022.jpg", "thumbnail":446, "imagedir":"images\/MAS", "timestamp":"2024-10-09T14:16:56.12Z" }, { "findIdentifier":"finds-183", "id":183, "old_findID":"MAS-D100183", "objecttype":"UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT", "broadperiod":"POST MEDIEVAL", "description":"Find comprises of a single length of copper or copper alloy wire, measuring approximately 140 mm long and 10 mm in thickness. The wire consists of a central core of copper alloy strands, which are then wrapped or sheathed in a strand of copper alloy tightly wound around the core. The wire appears to taper towards one end, though it is not clear if this part of its manufacture or damage occurring to it during its use or post deposition on the seabed. The function of this item, clearly incomplete as evidenced by its severed ends, is unclear. Its finding was recorded as being in close proximity to a swivel gun (MAS-D100180) and it is possible that its function related to the use or maintenance of the weapon. It would seem unlikely that it functioned as a cable, due to the use of copper alloy which is not known for it tensile strength. Similarly, though copper is used extensively in modern electrical wiring, the date of the associated Brandy wreck would preclude its use within electronics. Of course this find may be intrusive and not relate to the wreck at all. One further consideration is the possibility it is a fragment of a lightning rod that may have been fitted to a ships mast for protection during and electrical storm at sea.", "notes":"This find comes from an unidentified wreck known as the Brandy Wreck, situated east of Portland Harbour in Weymouth Bay, Dorset. An investigation of the newly discovered wreck was carried out by Wessex Archaeology (2016) in conjunction with The Shipwreck Project, a local organisation who discovered the site, and at the behest of Historic England. The lack of datable evidence from secure contexts, structural elements of a vessel and other factors meant that a precise date or name of the vessel could not be determined. Broadly, the vessel is thought to date between 1600 and 1825 AD and may relate to a naval or merchant vessel, or potentially be a chance accumulation of artefacts. Vessel currently has no NRHE or HER designation numbers.\n\nThis item was found with a swivel gun (MAS-D100180), a timber (MAS-D100177) and a flat strip of copper (MAS-D100184).", "periodFrom":36, "periodTo":39, "treasure":1, "TID":"091\/18", "workflow":3, "institution":"MAS", "datefound1":"2018-05-22T00:00:00Z", "created":"2018-06-01T08:28:32Z", "updated":"2020-03-27T15:32:00Z", "secuid":"183", "length":140, "quantity":1, "material":53, "completeness":1, "preservation":4, "discovery":15, "recorderID":"PAS5C5037EF001C03", "createdBy":2, "countyID":14362, "county":"Dorset", "fourFigure":"SY7375", "fourFigureLat":50.57411317, "fourFigureLon":-2.38265074, "what3words":"commander.evening.twist", "precision":10, "creator":"MAS MAS", "updatedBy":"MAS", "materialTerm":"Copper", "primaryMaterialBM":10626, "completenessTerm":"Fragment", "preservationTerm":"Corroded", "periodFromName":"POST MEDIEVAL", "periodFromBM":"x41047", "periodToName":"NINETEENTH CENTURY", "broadperiodBM":"x41047", "discoveryMethod":"Diving", "filename":"183_MAS_D100184_1.JPG", "thumbnail":485, "imagedir":"images\/MAS", "recorder":"PT", "timestamp":"2024-10-09T14:16:56.573Z" }, { "findIdentifier":"finds-45", "id":45, "old_findID":"MAS-D100045", "objecttype":"BOTTLE", "broadperiod":"POST MEDIEVAL", "description":"Base of a broken glass onion bottle found loose on the seabed with quite a lot of marine growth present, including over the broken edges.
