Double Dutch Fluyt: deck assembly

3D Model

This 3D model represents a preserved section of the deck construction of the 17th-century Dutch fluyt (fluitschip) Double Dutch (NCN 34303), documented during the 2025 field campaign. The wreck (31m x 6m), discovered in 2022 in the Dutch Wadden Sea near Kornwerderzand, was subject to systematic archaeological investigation between 2023 and 2025. The surviving deck structure provides valuable evidence for the vessel’s internal arrangement and load-bearing framework, and contributes to the interpretation of the ship as a two-deck armed merchantman. Together with the other recorded structural components, it supports identification of the vessel as a fluyt measuring approximately 120 Amsterdam feet.
