Survey between 2004 and 2008 revealed the remains of a wooden shipwreck, lying in two large pieces with an additional area of dispersed remains. At the time, the identification of the vessel remained unknown. Due to the urgent need to establish the date and identity of the vessel to help determine its archaeological significance and develop sustainable long-term monitoring and management of the site, funding from the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF), was awarded to the project. A program of investigation into the material characteristics of the vessel (dendrochronology, timber species analysis, metal analysis, ship structure, small finds) was undertaken and indicated an early/mid-19th century date. Historical research and correlation with the recorded shipwreck losses for a 10 km area around the site revealed that that shipwreck represented the remains of the Flower of Ugie. The Flower of Ugie was a sailing barque, built in Sunderland in 1838. The vessel had a successful fourteen year career sailing to destinations in South Asia, the Far East, the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Baltic and North America. The vessel was wrecked on the Horse Tail Sand in the Eastern Solent on 27th December 1852. Research into the vessel will result in the publication of a monograph in the Spring of 2011 and a management report that has been submitted to English Heritage HWTMA HWTMA Maritime Archaeology Ltd dassh.enquiries@mba.ac.uk originator Archaeology Data Service help@archaeologydataservice.ac.uk custodian notPlanned Database Delimited Documents Geographic Information System Image Marine Environmental Data and Information Network NDGO0005 Buildings Protected sites GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-01-06 revision Man-made structures Marine archaeology Fish aggregating device usage statistics SeaDataNet P021 parameter discovery vocabulary 2009-11-16 revision https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/advice/termsOfUseAndAccess otherRestrictions https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/advice/termsOfUseAndAccess English structure environment SeaDataNet vertical extent keywords 2010-01-01 revision inapplicable -1.0814 -0.9667 50.7000 50.7678 2004-01-01 2010-12-31 Archaeology Data Service help@archaeologydataservice.ac.uk distributor https://doi.org/10.5284/1011899 A link to the web service or dataset https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/ A link to the general host site dataset This dataset was collected by Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology and provided to the Archaeology Data Service for long term archive and management.
