Oostvoornse Meer 8 (OVM 8), Netherlands

3D Model

South of the port of Rotterdam lies a lake which used to be the river outlet of the Brielse Maas. This was the main shipping lane to the port of Rotterdam from the 13th until the 18th century. In 2014, the Dutch Cultural Heritage Agency (RCE), conducted an archaeological assessment of the OVM 8. The OVM 8 was a Dutch, large trading vessel from the second half of the 17th century. This wreck has been (partly) excavated in the 1980’s and the remains are now heavily degradated bij Teredo navalis. The difference in color and image quality (in the different parts of the wreck) are due to the testing of different methods to capture images for 3D modelling. The data has been processed by Thomas Van Damme (@Ubi3D).
