The cups have a Chinese style design with a light grey colour pattern, and appear to be made of porcelain (although this has not been confirmed). Similar in decorative style to the bowls recorded as MAS-D100047, it is assumed that these teacups were made by either Charles Meigh of Hanley, Staffordshire (1835-49), the preceding company, J. Meigh and Son (c.1805-34), or the succeeding company, Charles Meigh and Son (1851-61) (Godden 1964, 428-429).These items were found along with four milk jugs of a similar style (MAS-D100054) and were recovered from the wreck of Josephine Willis. Other items similar in style to the ceramic recorded here have also been recovered on different occasions from this wreck site (MAS-D100047, MAS-D100058 and MAS-D100059) along with other non-ceramic objects including candlesticks, a deadeye and three square portholes. The Josephine Willis was a New Zealand sail and steam propelled packet ship built in c.1840. The ship was carrying 110 people on board bound for Auckland, comprising ten First class passengers, 60 steerage and 40 crew. It sank in 1856 following a collision with Mangerton with the loss of 69 lives. NRHE and Kent HER reference numbers cited in this record refer to the wreck of Josephine Willis.CONTAINER363918561121/173MAS2017-06-04T00:00:00ZROUNDED CUP1025695Kent HER Number: TR 22 NE 45With finder2017-06-04T14:40:20Z2017-09-26T13:21:29Z48115284215PAS57C96ECD001E82PAS57BC21F300115B218210KentTR183051.02800971.10748152immature.twang.uncouth10MAS MASMASCeramic10539CompleteGoodPOST MEDIEVALx41047NINETEENTH CENTURYDivingSubmitted as wreck to the Receiver of Wreck48_6btxqbz9feyo.jpg158images/MASABB2024-10-09T14:15:15.226Zfinds-2626MAS-O100026SHIPS TIMBERNINETEENTH CENTURYTwo fragments of waterlogged wood with two copper fasteners dating from the post-medieval period onwards. The wood may be the remains of two planks of wood used in the construction of a ship as the planks are secured with one copper fastening and a hole is visible where another fastening may have also been used. Copper rivets are the standard method of fastening the planks to each other in clinker constructed vessels, or in the planks to the ribs or frames (Traditional Maritime Skills website, accessed September 2017). Clinker is a method of constructing the hull of a boat by fixing wooden planks so that the planks overlap along their edges. The overlapping joint is called a land. If the plank is too short for the hull, it would be necessary to extend the plank by joining with another piece of wood. Planks are also known as strakes (rubbing strake for example) so this method is also known as lapstrake. It is a very traditional method of ship construction. Metallic fastenings followed on from tree nails (also commonly known as trunnels and trennels), which were an older method of securing two planks together using wooden 'nails'.TRANSPORT36411008/173MAS2017-01-28T00:00:00ZVESSEL COMPONENTWith finder2017-01-28T22:05:37Z2018-05-22T15:29:15Z262142815PAS5989C577001EA7PAS5989C577001EA7222028North YorkshireNZ672154.57977665-0.96494213trek.amazed.stated10MAS MASMASWood11988FragmentPOST MEDIEVALx41047MODERNCoastal walkingSubmitted as wreck to the Receiver of WreckIMG_0877.JPG83images/MASLR2024-10-09T14:15:09.369Z
