No identifying marks or plates visible, though two cross member plate remnants present. 870 x 45mm. The lack of identifying marks means that the type and origin of the aircraft cannot be definitively identified from this recovered section. Initially thought to be part of a piston engine support frame from something like a Spitfire fighter, a Dakota transport aircraft, or perhaps one of the multi-engined bombers,this theory was discarded as these are generally circular in section. The double row of rivet holes down one side (presumably where it attached to the skin) suggest it is more likely a stringer of some description. A stringer is a Longitudinal member (i.e. in the fuselage aligned with the longitudinal axis and in wings and tail surfaces perpendicular to this axis) which gives the airframe its shape and provides the support for the skin. In fuselages, they link frames and in aerofoils they link ribs. The consensus therefore, is that it is from the outer wing rib of a single engine aeroplane or the fin\/tail plane rib of a larger multi engine aircraft from the Second World War; and has characteristics that suggest it is from a Royal Air Force or British aircraft. However, due to the corrosion and the very close variations in measurement between both metric and imperial measurements, i.e. millimetres (mm), standard wire gauge (swg) or thousands of an inch (thou), used by aircraft designers during this period, the use of the spacing and diameter of rivets, bolt holes and other spacings combined with any drilling\/stamping errors means that these do not help in identifying the piece.

The images were forwarded to ship expert and author Richard Endsor. The timber appears to be the beam end from a small ship, with evidence of knees on both sides. The small piece of plank let into it crossways may be the remains of a waterway at the side making this face the upper side of the beam. The treenails probably secured the plank. The notch at the beam end may have fitted between the frame timbers of the ship's hull. The recessed slot may be to take a lodging fore and aft knee, and the flat section on the opposite side would be for a hanging knee. The evidence of corrosion products on the beam suggest that it is from a modern ship, as although iron support structures in the construction of ships appeared during the latter part of the18th century, they were only initially used in warships and large merchantmen, and not until later in smaller vessels such as fishing boats and sailing barges. The retrofitting of them in warships was common during the Napoleonic wars. The uptake of iron fitting was very much linked to the availability of wood, and therefore most ships were built of wood with wooden framing components and some iron strengthening, the Cutty Sark, built in 1869, is one example of this approach. The different designs of iron knee, where they survive, also act as a useful guide to dating wreck sites, particularly in the case of British wrecks. European and American built wrecks, where good quality timber was readily available or cheaper means these are less easily dated by their metal components.", "classification":"SHIP", "periodFrom":36, "periodTo":41, "treasure":1, "TID":"224\/17", "workflow":3, "institution":"MAS", "datefound1":"2017-08-23T00:00:00Z", "subClassification":"Timber", "currentLocation":"With finder", "created":"2017-08-23T08:34:54Z", "updated":"2018-05-23T13:57:54Z", "secuid":"107", "thickness":110, "width":120, "length":830, "quantity":1, "material":14, "subsequentAction":"28", "completeness":1, "discovery":14, "recorderID":"PAS57C96ECD001E82", "createdBy":2, "countyID":2625, "county":"East Sussex", "fourFigure":"TQ4400", "fourFigureLat":50.78170298, "fourFigureLon":0.04126088, "what3words":"pastels.dash.stockpile", "precision":10, "creator":"MAS MAS", "updatedBy":"MAS", "materialTerm":"Wood", "primaryMaterialBM":11988, "completenessTerm":"Fragment", "periodFromName":"POST MEDIEVAL", "periodFromBM":"x41047", "periodToName":"MODERN", "broadperiodBM":"x41047", "discoveryMethod":"Fishing", "subsequentActionTerm":"Submitted as wreck to the Receiver of Wreck", "filename":"FIPAD_2017081739.JPG", "thumbnail":"https:\/\/marinefinds.org.uk\/images\/thumbnails\/262.jpg", "imagedir":"images\/MAS", "recorder":"ABB", "timestamp":"2024-10-09T14:16:36.896Z", "url":"https:\/\/marinefinds.org.uk\/database\/artefacts\/record\/id\/107" }, "id":107 }, { "type":"Feature", "geometry":{ "type":"Point", "coordinates":[ 0.04126088, 50.78170298 ] }, "properties":{ "findIdentifier":"finds-106", "id":106, "old_findID":"MAS-F100106", "objecttype":"LADDER", "broadperiod":"NINETEENTH CENTURY", "description":"These two timbers are two components of a companion ladder. The larger piece measures 1.14 m long by 0.15 m wide and based on the visible ridges to accommodate the stairs, would have been the left-hand side banister of the ladder. The smaller piece measures 0.56 m wide and is 20 mm thick. This piece is one of the stairs that would have fitted between both banisters and still slots in to one of the grooves on the remaining banister. The join is step and groove radiused rather than square cut. Companion ladders or a companion way is usually steep but has treads or stairs rather than rungs typically seen on a ladder. Weight can be spread over a much larger area than concentrated on the surface of the small rungs of a ladder therefore it is possible to carry much heavier loads up and down these ladders. Companionways on modern vessels now tend to be made of aluminium, however on wooden sailing vessels and fishing vessels, wooden ladders may still be used, therefore it is difficult to date these pieces.", "classification":"Tools and equipment", "periodFrom":39, "periodTo":41, "treasure":1, "TID":"222\/17", "workflow":3, "institution":"MAS", "datefound1":"2017-08-23T00:00:00Z", "subClassification":"Companion ladder", "currentLocation":"With finder", "created":"2017-08-23T08:31:10Z", "updated":"2018-05-08T08:40:53Z", "secuid":"106", "quantity":2, "material":14, "subsequentAction":"28", "completeness":1, "discovery":14, "recorderID":"PAS57C96ECD001E82", "identifierID":"PAS57C96ECD001E82", "createdBy":2, "countyID":2625, "county":"East Sussex", "fourFigure":"TQ4400", "fourFigureLat":50.78170298, "fourFigureLon":0.04126088, "what3words":"pastels.dash.stockpile", "precision":10, "creator":"MAS MAS", "updatedBy":"MAS", "materialTerm":"Wood", "primaryMaterialBM":11988, "completenessTerm":"Fragment", "periodFromName":"NINETEENTH CENTURY", "periodToName":"MODERN", "discoveryMethod":"Fishing", "subsequentActionTerm":"Submitted as wreck to the Receiver of Wreck", "filename":"FIPAD_2017081767.JPG", "thumbnail":"https:\/\/marinefinds.org.uk\/images\/thumbnails\/254.jpg", "imagedir":"images\/MAS", "recorder":"ABB", "timestamp":"2024-10-09T14:16:36.661Z", "url":"https:\/\/marinefinds.org.uk\/database\/artefacts\/record\/id\/106" }, "id":106 } ] }
