Angled piece of steelwork<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/p>\n\n
This artefact was found in the drag head of the Arco Humber on the 12th September 2008. It was
\nfound during dredging activity in licence area 408, which is in the Humber region.<\/p>

Angled piece of steelwork - possibly used to weight nets or lobster pots<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/p>\n\n
Hanson_0191 was described by wharf staff as an angled section of steel
\nwork. It measures around 0.8m long and was discovered after it became
\nlodged in the drag head of the Arco Humber. Staff retrieved it when
\nclearing it from the drag. Hanson_0191 is not immediately diagnostic.<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/p>\n\n
Images of the item were sent to the National Maritime Museum in Cornwall
\nwhere Liza Verity, Information Specialist at the Museum, showed them to
\ncolleagues. The Ship Model Curator believed that this item was probably
\nused on a vessel as ballast or as an anchor for nets or lobster pots. It has
\nbeen cut using oxy-acetylene gas giving it the 'ridged' appearance along
\nseveral of its edges and around the hole in the top of the item. This would
\nsupport the latter suggestion that this has served as a net or pot weight.
\nThe hole in the top of the item would have allowed the attachment of ropes
\nor nets in order to secure Hanson_0191 to what it was intended to anchor.
\nAs this item would have been routinely lowered to the seabed during its
\nuse it may have been accidently lost or it may have been deliberately
\ndiscarded when no longer required. However, since it would have been
\ntransported on board a vessel there is still the possibility that this find
\noriginated from a wreck site.<\/p>","notes":"
