We went on a walk around Pete’s home village of North Ferriby. The pictures are here. In 1937, wooden planks belonging to an ancient boat were discovered by a local man on the shore of the Humber at North Ferriby. Originally estimated to date from 1300 BC, newer estimates using radiocarbon dating have placed the boats between the years 1890 BC to 1700 BC, in the Bronze Age. The Ferriby boats are the earliest known boats found in Europe. Learn more about them here.
