The boat discovered in 1963 is older than first thought By the BBC's Rebecca Jones A boat found more than 40 years ago near Hull has been identified as the oldest of its kind in western Europe. That is very impressive. I always knew us celts were firece sea-goers. I could have sworn my neighbours had a boat that was older (built some time in the 1950s), but I bow to yer clear expertise here. So it's hats off to the boatin Irish then begob? (or Geordies maybe) Like you I'm still scratching my head and trying to figure out what various boats found near Hull have to do with the Irish. Still in between the incoherent warbling Mike does convey some theories which are as cookie as anyone else on here. You know the good folks of Hull are far too far south to be thought of as Geordies, but I can't for the love of me think what they'd be called. Does anyone know? Vikings? Nazis? Bertie |
