The “Fame of Hoorn”: the story of the Swash Channel Wreck
Advertisement
A presentation by Tom Cousins of the Bournemouth University.
This talk explores the excavation, conservation and latest discoveries from a remarkable shipwreck. In 1631, the Dutch merchant ship Fame of Hoorn had sought shelter in Studland Bay. In the early 2000's substantial sections of the ship were excavated but in early 2026 storms revealed further wreckage and opened up an unexpected new chapter.
