3D Model

In 2019 the Dutch Cultural Heritage Agency conducted an archaeological reconnaissance on several wrecks in the Waddenzee. On the location of TS 56, the maritime archaeologists found the remains of a wooden ship which had several interesting shipbuilding details preserved. Dendrochronological examination of the wood and the typology of the artefacts found, indicate that it was probably a Dutch merchant or fisherman from the end of the 16th century. The remains were in a reasonable good condition, but the wreck was damaged by trawling: the board and keel have been displaced. Due to the shallowness of the site (the wash of the waves) and the bad visibility (at best 2 m, more often 0.5 m) the recording of the site with photogrammetry proved to be challenging.
