It is not clear whether these wooden pulley sheaves were a pair or from single sheave pulleys. Generally made from ash (Fraxinus), hickory (Carya) in the case of North America, or Lignum vitae. Lignum vitae, Latin for 'wood of life', is a trade wood, also called Guayacan or Guaiacum from the trees of the genus Guaiacum. The trees are indigenous to the Caribbean and the northern coast of South America and have been an important export crop to Europe since the beginning of the 16th century due to its extraordinary combination of strength, toughness, and density. It was also considered to have self lubricating properties. Ash though tough and elastic is prone to wet rot. Roller bushes were also introduced during the 1880s to reduce friction on the sheave pin. A sheave's size depended mostly on the rope it handled, the higher up the rigging the block was, and the lighter the ropes, the smaller they were. Sheaves also shrank in size as rope quality improved over time, and the introduction of iron parts also contributed to this process. However, many ships continued to use larger blocks due to their making the work easier and therefore requiring less crew to operate.", "notes":"This item was found along with a wooden belaying pin (MAS-D100032) and a marble tile (MAS-D100050).", "classification":"WATER CRAFT", "periodFrom":36, "periodTo":39, "treasure":1, "TID":"032\/17", "workflow":3, "institution":"MAS", "datefound1":"2017-03-14T00:00:00Z", "subClassification":"SHIP", "currentLocation":"With finder", "created":"2017-03-14T07:28:01Z", "updated":"2017-09-26T13:21:53Z", "secuid":"49", "quantity":2, "material":14, "subsequentAction":"28", "completeness":3, "preservation":1, "discovery":15, "recorderID":"PAS57C96ECD001E82", "identifierID":"PAS57C96ECD001E82", "createdBy":2, "creator":"MAS MAS", "updatedBy":"MAS", "materialTerm":"Wood", "primaryMaterialBM":11988, "completenessTerm":"Uncertain", "preservationTerm":"Fair", "periodFromName":"POST MEDIEVAL", "periodFromBM":"x41047", "periodToName":"NINETEENTH CENTURY", "broadperiodBM":"x41047", "discoveryMethod":"Diving", "subsequentActionTerm":"Submitted as wreck to the Receiver of Wreck", "filename":"IMG_3921.JPG", "thumbnail":"https:\/\/marinefinds.org.uk\/images\/thumbnails\/164.jpg", "imagedir":"images\/MAS", "recorder":"ABB", "timestamp":"2024-10-09T14:15:15.476Z", "url":"https:\/\/marinefinds.org.uk\/database\/artefacts\/record\/id\/49" }, "id":49 }, { "type":"Feature", "geometry":{ "type":"Point", "coordinates":[ 1.17805502, 51.01711498 ] }, "properties":{ "findIdentifier":"finds-146", "id":146, "old_findID":"MAS-D100146", "objecttype":"UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT", "broadperiod":"NINETEENTH CENTURY", "description":"Find consists of an ornate metal piece, bearing a flyr de lys type of design above a solid bar, presumably used for mounting.

The weapon is approximately 750 mm in overall length, with external muzzle diameter of approximately 110 mm flaring to an external diameter of 180 mm at the breech end. The condition of the artefact is poor due to heave concretion, though visual analysis suggests it is a muzzle loading gun. No Trunnions for mounting the weapon are immediately apparent despite the concretion. As their name suggests, swivel guns were small cannons mounted on iron staves or sticks so that the point of aim could be quickly and easily changed. They are essentially close in defence weapons, designed to be fired over short distances to deter attempts to board the vessel which they are defending. Commonly the ammunition used would be cannister, a small case packed with musket balls or the like, which upon firing would spread out in a cone potentially hitting multiple targets. Such a weapon would be particularly effective against small boats or boarding parties where large numbers of enemies would be packed together.", "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.

The base appears to be damaged, though clearly separates into three possible legs or feet. Approximately 76 mm from the base it seems to narrow slightly, possibly due to bearing a ring decoration, though this is difficult to ascertain due to the level of encrustation on the object. The shaft of the item extends for a further c. 76 mm before expanding to a Doric column style embellishment of three gradually expanding rings, the uppermost having rounded edges. Above this is an elaborate styled decoration with six radially arranges loops, coming to a point in the centre. The intended use of the object is not evident from the available information and it is not clear whether this was cargo or part of a vessels fittings.
