Lot 265 - AN 18TH CENTURY POCKET COMPASS SUNDIAL; and Lot 265 - AN 18TH CENTURY POCKET COMPASS SUNDIAL; and - Estimate 150-250 GBP

We think a pocket compass sundial like www.charlesmillerltd.com/auction/lot/...

Good answer, that’s what we think too.

We had a fantastic couple of days diving the #ProtectedWreck Hazardous with @archsoton50.bsky.social . I think we had find of the season. Can you guess what it is? #NavalHistory #Archaeology #Shipwrecks #RoyalNavy

Hi Cathryn, looks like an iron carronade/gunnade with breeching loop c. 1800. What do you think @baliscoe.bsky.social

Diving For English Warship Sunk in 1703 Storm YouTube video by History Hit

The YouTube version of the latest History Hit doc on the Northumberland has just been released. A great balance of the history and archaeology of the ship and the need to do much more while it is exposed on the Goodwin Sands. #NavalHistory #Archaeology youtu.be/UsWFfv6-jiM?...

Great diving with you, hopefully we get to do more in the future.

Warship wrecked in 1703 near Kent is more complete than expected - BBC News Archaeologists say the wreck site "remains high risk" as moving sand exposes the wooden vessel.

Day 3 and 4 recording landing craft at Forton Lake with @archsoton50.bsky.social students. Plans are coming together nicely. #Archaeology #MaritimeHistory #CoastalHistory

@seaspitfires.com and other WWII experts, were some LCAs converted for carrying fuel. A LCA at Forton Lake has fuel tanks in the space where the troops were. See images. With @archsoton50.bsky.social #Archaeology

It wasn’t that bad, was it ? 😂😂😂

Day 2 recording Second World War Landing Craft Assault (LCA) at Forton Lake, Gosport with @archsoton50.bsky.social students. #MaritimeHistory #Archaeology

@malholden57.bsky.social where were we today with @archsoton50.bsky.social ?

Underwater pics taken by PhD student Cal Pols.

The exposed nature of the site is an opportunity for the @archsoton50.bsky.social students to see the organisation and layout of the ships stores, provisions and guns

Hazardous is a perfect site for @archsoton50.bsky.social students to learn about the construction of a wooden ship and for developing underwater searching skills.

Last week @archsoton50.bsky.social maritime students were exploring the #ProtectedWreck Hazardous, a 60 gun warship, lost in Bracklesham Bay in 1706.

It will give context to the wreck investigation of the Northumberland. I haven’t seen it, what’s your verdict?

The sands shifted in 2014 exposing the site and have not returned. Climate change is not helping. More frequent high energy weather and sea conditions are washing out the sand and silts, which were trapped in the wreck. Marine borers eating the exposed wood. We’re losing it at an alarming rate.

A game of spot the difference on the #ProtectedWreck Hazardous. Images show the same area of the forward hold, one from 2019 and the other 2025. There has been no archaeological excavation in this area, all natural. #Archaeology #NavalHistory #MaritimeHistory #Shipwrecks

£15m Heritage at Risk Capital Fund for Historic England to give grants for buildings, gardens and scheduled monuments is good news. I hope one day shipwrecks will receive similar. In my quest to make shipwrecks visible checkout #ProtectedWreck Hazardous latest video youtu.be/mSg1lhLW-M4?...

No date yet but could be around April ish. I’ll keep you posted.

A good article for our students taking contemporary issues and debates. Thanks Sonia.

A brill day filming with History Hit, @thehistoryguy.bsky.social and Simon Stephens from the National Maritime Museum and Chatham Historic dockyard. Comparing 70-gun ship’s models with what we are finding on the #ProtectedWreck Northumberland. #NavalHistory #MaritimeHistory #Archaeology

Can anyone help @cathrynpearce.bsky.social identify makers mark from spoon recovered from the naval wreck HMS Brazen 1800?

The trestle-tree we recently found on #ProtectedWreck Invincible is likely to belong to the main fighting top. Why? Well, we also found the main and preventer stays in 2019. Newspaper articles from March 1758 report the main mast was cut away. #NavalHistory #shipwrecks #Archaeology #MaritimeHistory

Interesting open access paper on the C13 'Mortar Wreck' by Tom Cousins of @buarchanth.bsky.social #MaritimeArchaeology #MaritimeHistory

Hopefully one day we’ll find one. May be this is the year
