Studying the Hearts of Ships: 16th-Century Mainmast Steps and Bilge Pump Assemblies Through an Annales Nautical Archaeological Perspective
Year: 2011 Language: english Author: Charles D Bendig Genre: History Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 377 Description: Over the past 30 years numerous archaeological investigations have revealed several 16th-century shipwrecks in various states of preservation. Many of these include evidence for the mainmast step and, occasionally, remaining vestiges of the bilge pump assemblies. Surviving mainmast steps allow archaeologists to create datasets to understand specific timeframes for shipbuilding methodology. Previous research is often focused on frame construction and the features related to regional shipbuilding traditions that led to cross-oceanic travel. Archaeologists need to reevaluate their methodology by applying the French annales approach, which attempts to understand the multi-layer trends and fluctuations throughout history, including between the archaeological record and the historical events that encapsulate shipbuilding modifications. This thesis also outlines methodology in conducting in-situ analysis on the central-internal hull of the Emanuel Point II (EP II) shipwreck. Results from this study connect not only to the ill-fated Tristán de Luna y Arellano expedition of 1559, which EP II was once part of, but also trends in technological developments, as revealed in the archaeological record, on central internal hull construction. Nautical archaeologists can benefit using a multi-tiered analysis to reveal shipbuilding trends as concerns mainmast step and bilge pump assembly.
