A new insight into the sheathing of early 19th-century French warships
Materials characterisation has largely been applied to the study of modern shipwrecks, providing valuable data for dating, provenance, and technological assessment. The comparison between vessels from the same period and origin, however, is less common. A comparative approach based on fine-grained data retrieved from intra-fleet warships, for instance, can help to identify their service histories and detect short-term technological or supply-rela…
Assessment of consolidants for the preservation of Tituli Picti on amphorae from the Ses Fontanelles late Roman shipwreck (Mallorca, Spain)
New remarks on the mid-17th-century gunfounding in Northern Europe
This article deals with the study of an assemblage of scrap bronze guns recovered from the Delta III site, identified as a Dutch merchant ship lost in the port of Cadiz, Spain, about the third quarter of the seventeenth century. This kind of remains is seldom preserved and therefore stands as a unique source for addressing modern bronze gunfounding. Its main characteristics and drawbacks were outlined and discussed on historical and archaeologica…
Documentación y análisis de un cepo de ancla romano y sus elementos iconográficos y epigráficos sellados
This paper aims to present the documentation and analysis methodology carried out on a lead trap from the ancient period, which belongs to the collection of traps in the Museum of Cádiz (Andalusia, Spain). The anchor stock had some interesting characteristics for this research. On the one hand, from the point of view of conservation and restoration, due to the alterations it presented. On the other hand, from a historical and archaeological point…
Evolution of a Shallow Water Wave‐Dominated Shipwreck Site
The evolution of the shallow water wave‐dominated Fougueux wreck site in the Gulf of Cadiz was investigated through repeat bathymetric surveys, wave‐ and current‐velocity field measurements, and numerical modeling. This multidisciplinary approach was used to understand the relationships between scouring, morphodynamic change, and hydrodynamic forcing. Field experiments and numerical models indicate that wave processes dominate site evolution. Num…
Characterization of a Historical Cannonball from the Fortress of San Juan De Ulúa Exposed to a Marine Environment
Metallurgical analyses and chemical characterizations were carried out on historical cannonballs from the Fortress of San Juan de Ulúa, Veracruz, México. Cannonballs dating from the 18th and 19th centuries share metallurgical characteristics similar to those of material coming from a shipment of ammunition found in the wreck of a sunken French ship from the battle of Trafalgar. The analyses show that the base material is grey cast iron with a car…
