That's interesting, discovering the ship and the treasure. Do you know happened to the tresure in the end?
I see the rebuild is proudly sponsored by Jewson π

Edith Pretty was awarded all the treasure by the inquest as it was found on her land.
An inquest has to be held when treasure is found on a burial site or cemetery.
Two days after the inquest she donated it all to the British museum so that the public could see it.
This treasure is of course priceless.
A truly remarkable woman ππΌ
The build is always looking for sponsors as it is all done by volunteers.
My daughter donated a rivet for the boat in my name. Which is very cool to think on.
Maybe someone will dig up my rivet in 1400 years time? πππΌ
