The half-size replica Bronze
Age boat took more than three months to build
A replica Bronze Age boat made in
Kent is being repaired after it started to sink on its first voyage.
The vessel, which is called Boat 1550 BC, was lowered into Dover Harbour on
Saturday but started to leak before it could get under way.
The boat, which has taken three months to construct, is made of wood and is
half the size of the original boat unearthed in Dover in 1992.
The way the planks were joined together is thought to have caused the
problem.
