undertaking a monitoring project as part of a student-training project. The purpose of the 2006 season was to set up a long-term "strategy for the future management of the SCW ... [for the] ... 2006–2011" season. The archaeological investigation discovered that the protective hessian sandbags placed in 2005 had degraded exposing the wreck. The site was larger than thought; covering a 50 m by 40 m area with structural remains over 40 m by 20 m. More work than was originally predicted was required, and with no further funding available, Bournemouth University negotiated sponsorship with a number of local organisations, including Jenkins Marine , Poole Museum and Dorset Workboats to cover this extra work. Since 2006 Bournemouth University continued to work on the wreck as a student training project allowing students to undertake the majority of the work including trials for establishing the most cost-effective method of in situ stabilisation, and creating photomosaics of the site showing the site a whole for the first time. BU continued to monitor the site noting that sediment was being lost lowering sand levels across the site, by up to 350 mm in some areas. The gradual exposure of new material has reached the point where extensive archaeological deposits that contain extremely vulnerable organic material are being exposed, rapidly degraded and eventually lost. In 2010 English Heritage agreed to fund an excavation of the site by a BU led team of marine archaeologists undertook the largest underwater excavation in the UK since the Mary Rose. The site was divided into 6m grids where two teams began excavating the sediment and recovering the small finds, once a grid was excavated the areas were photographed to create a photomosaic of the site. A third team worked on the recording and dismantling of the Bow Castle ready for raising and preserving. The Bow Castle was raised in May 2011, and the 8-metre-long carved rudder was raised in 2013. In March 2017, the ship was named as the Fame. Artifacts Over 1000 artifacts have been brought up as of 2010 these include various rigging blocks, barrels, pottery and personal items such as shoes, wooden bowls and tankards. The ship has also yielded 5 carvings of baroque style including two mermen, cherubim, and a classical style head carved on top of the rudder. These carvings are being conserved by York Archaeological Trust with funding from BU and MAST. External
