This strange artifact melted out of the ice in the Lendbreen pass. We scratched our heads to try to figure out what it had been used for but we couldn't come up with a good answer. The object was exhibited at the local museum. A visiting elderly woman solved the mystery for us.

We’re back to grey skies but the work continues. The Ship is now between Horseshoe Island and Pourquoi Pas Island gathering scientific data.

#HamidrezaRouhi, only 20 years old, full of life and hope, was shot dead last night by IRGC terrorists.

His last instagram post reads:
“If the internet gets shut down forever, I want this to be my last post:
Long live women,
Long live freedom,
Long live Iran.”

Say his name.

Honoured to get to know Arthur on a personal level and write his story- you can buy his book at both Chatham & Portsmouth Historic Dockyards in the gift shop, or on Amazon. 100% of proceeds are donated to the museums that house his historic finds and archaeological discoveries

#OnThisDay in 1979, fisherman Arthur Mack caught his nets on a ‘fastner’- an underwater obstruction just off Hayling Island. At first he thought he had found an old pier but they soon realised it was #INVINCIBLE1744. We caught up with Arthur earlier this year ...

Something a bit different for #FindsFriday. ‘Peckham Rock’, hoax cave art with authentic-looking label, installed without permission in the British Museum in 2005, by the artist known as Banksy. ‘Found’ three days later by curators in the Roman Britain gallery!😳

The Hampshire Telegraph of 23 Sept 1803 reported:

“Last evening at 8 o’clock a very hot press took place in Portsmouth, Portsea & Gosport, a number of persons of various description were sent on board ships in the port… it is thought the Service acquired fifty serviceable men”

Also found on the 1758 wreck of HMS Invincible, in the Solent

It’s trivia time😉

Tell me what I’m holding and where precisely it (most likely) belongs - based on the following:

One piece Elm, 5 in. inner/ 16 in. outer diameter, 4 in. width, 5/8 in. chamfered outer edges

I’ll give you the low-down tomorrow

[Royal Navy Museums @NatMuseumRN]
