Fort Victoria Isle of Wight
The Exhibition Bus set up outside of the Maritime Archaeology Trust's Sunken Secrets Exhibition at Fort Victoria, Yarmouth, on the Isle of Wight in August. Alongside the usual Common Cultural Connections prehistoric exhibits on the Bus a special activity was planned. The art of log boat making using only the tools that would have been used during the Mesolithic was demonstrated by expert Dr Sara Rich and the public were invited to 'have a go'!
