Vermeersch, J.; Haneca, K.; Daly, A. (2015). Doel 2: a second 14th-century cog wrecked in den Deurganck, Doel, Belgium. Int. J. Naut. Archaeol. 44(2): 327-348. dx.doi.org/10.1111/1095-9270.12117
In 2002, the preserved bottom part of a wreck was excavated, identified as a cog, and named Doel 2. An interdisciplinary research programme (2010-2014), revealed that the ship was constructed after 1328 with wood from northern Poland. Complete 3D-registration of the timbers, and structural analysis showed it had a keelplank with a natural upward curve at the bow that served as a hook, and that most bottom planks were recaulked, among many other repairs. The ship ended up in den Deurganck', a creek near the Scheldt river where it was partially disassembled before the surviving remains were inverted, probably as a result of a flood. This paper presents the detailed recording and archaeological interpretation of the ship remains, and the results of the dendrochronological analysis.
