Baía da Horta 3 (Faial Island, Azores, Portugal)
Publication . Silva, José Tiago Pereira da; Bettencourt, José; CHAM - Centro de Humanidades
A collection of fourteen iron cannons, amongst other remains, was identified during the archaeological monitoring of dredging works carried out in the scope of the «Rehabilitation and Renewal of the Seafront of Horta» project. Most of the guns were covered with concretions and were transferred to an underwater preserve near the port, where they can be visited. However, three guns were recovered due to partial loss of concretion, which exposed various details of their manufacture. Based upon the design initially proposed by John Armstrong, all of these seem to be English guns, with three different calibers and dating from the second half of the 18th century. The archaeological surveys conducted in the area (BH003) further revealed only a few lead bullets and one elephant tusk, which complicates the interpretation of the context. Nevertheless, the collection could be related to a shipwreck dating from the second half of the 18th or early 19th centuries. Se presenta una colección de catorce cañones de hierro descubiertos durante el seguimiento arqueológico de las obras de dragado del proyecto «Rehabilitación y Renovación del Paseo Marítimo de Horta». La mayoría de ellos estaban cubiertos de concreción y, de cara a su preservación, fueron trasladados a un depósito submarino cerca del puerto, donde se pueden visitar. Sin embargo, tres cañones fueron recuperados debido a la pérdida parcial de la concreción, exponiendo varios detalles de su fabricación. Según el diseño propuesto inicialmente por John Armstrong, estos cañones parecen ser de fabricación inglesa de la segunda mitad del siglo xviii, y de tres calibres distintos. Además de los cañones, los estudios arqueológicos realizados en la zona BH-003 solo revelaron balas de plomo y un colmillo de elefante, lo que complica la interpretación del contexto, que puede estar relacionado con un naufragio que ocurrió durante la segunda mitad del siglo xviii o principios del xix.
The Early Modern Belinho Ship (Esposende, Portugal)
Publication . Fonseca, Cristóvão; Bettencourt, José; Silva, José Tiago Pereira da; Coelho, Inês Pinto; Carvalho, Patrícia Catarina Sanches de; CHAM - Centro de Humanidades
In June 2014 CHAM developed an assessment mission of a collection of ship timbers scattered over Belinho beach, during the winter storms that affected the northern Portuguese coast. These timbers are part of a possible shipwreck context, with several archaeological materials, among which stands out a collection of pewter and copper alloy plates and porringers. These materials were recovered by the Esposende City Council that sent the artefacts for conservation and restoration and maintains the timbers in water tanks. This first assessment considered an analysis of the most important timbers, which allowed some preliminary considerations about the type of construction and the ship's chronology. The mission was supported by the Esposende City Council.
Boa Vista 1 and Boa Vista 2

Archaeological excavations carried out in the riverside area of Lisbon, revealed the remains of two ships: Boa Vista 1 and 2. The chronological sequence indicates that a 19th century embankment covered a wide anchorage, with archaeological remains ranging from Roman times until the 18th century. The two wooden ships were abandoned or lost in this anchorage, probably sometime between mid-17th and mid-18th centuries. Boa Vista 1 is a small vessel and features «architectural signatures» that are common in the Mediterranean area, but no clear parallels have been published to date. Boa Vista 2 is a larger vessel, and there are also no clear parallels. Both are therefore essential and unique sources to study post-medieval shipbuilding. Assuming the hypothesis that Boa Vista 1 and 2 were built on the Iberian Peninsula or on its colonial territories, they are an important starting point for the review of available sources on the subject. Los trabajos arqueológicos llevados a cabo en la zona ribereña de Lisboa, permitieron identificar los restos de dos barcos: Boa Vista 1 y 2. La secuencia cronológica indica que un terraplén del siglo xix cubría un extenso fondeadero. En este fondeadero (con uso documentado desde la época romana hasta el siglo xviii), las dos naves construidas en madera fueron abandonadas o perdidas, probablemente entre mediados del siglo xvii y mediados del xviii. El barco Boa Vista 1, más pequeño, presenta «firmas arquitectónicas» comunes en la zona del Mediterráneo, pero no existen paralelos claros publicados hasta la fecha. Boa Vista 2, más grande, tampoco encuentra paralelos claros. Ambos son, por tanto, una fuente esencial y única para el estudio de la construcción naval postmedieval. Asumiendo la hipótesis de que fueron construidos en la península ibérica o en su espacio colonial, este es un punto de partida importante para la revisión de las fuentes disponibles sobre el tema.
Os navios de Lisboa

Since the 1990s ship remains are being identified in Lisbon’s riverfront, in construction works related with urban renewal. The first ones were identified during the expansion of the subway in Corpo Santo and in the tunnel of Cais do Sodré station. The last ones were discovered and recorded during the construction of the new EDP Head Office and the ships called Boa Vista 1 and Boa Vista 2. Besides the ships several ship timbers reused in the construction of nautical structures or in revetments or waterfront structures as in the case of D. Luis I Square and D. Carlos I avenue were recovered. With this presentation we intent to make an assessment regarding these findings focusing on several issues including the origin of the archaeological contexts (wreck, abandonment, among others), their chronology and the relationship with the operation of the port of Lisbon in the early-modern period. Aspects related to the shipbuilding and the context of the several ships will also be focused.
