Loading and stability of a late 16th century Portuguese Indiaman
Outfitting the Pepper Wreck
A Quantitative Look at Mediterranean Lateen- and Square-Rigged Ships (Part 1)
Modern-day engineering can be a useful tool to help understand the technological changes which led to the development of the three-masted ships of the modern age of sail, in the beginning of the 15th century. Recent finding and excavation of an increasing number of medieval shipwrecks offers the opportunity, and the authors propose to build a database with technical characteristics of late-medieval vessels in the hope of finding patterns that wil…
Sailing the Pepper Wreck
Discovered in 1993 at the mouth of the Tagus River, the SJB2 shipwreck—or 'Pepper Wreck'—was tentatively identified as the Portuguese Indiaman Nossa Senhora dos Mártires, lost on its return voyage from Cochin, India, on 14 September 1606. Following archaeological excavation and a tentative reconstruction of the ship's hull and rigging, the next step is the study of its structural strength and sailing characteristics using the tools of modern nava…
