New Time Team Special | The Sutton Hoo Ship: Rebuilding a Legend (Part 1) with Tony Robinson (2024)

Video Description

PREMIERE: Saturday 1st June @ 7pm (BST) We're delighted to present a brand new Time Team Special presented by Sir Tony Robinson! In 1939, on the eve of war, a huge ship burial was discovered at Sutton Hoo, Suffolk, laden with golden treasures, befitting Anglo-Saxon royalty. Now, a team of shipwrights and volunteers at The Longshed in Woodbridge are building a scale reconstruction, as acccurately as possible, using traditional methods. Over the last few years, Time Team has been following the incredible building project, gradually watching the ship take shape. Join us for the story so far...

Our policy is to use all of the waste wood for worthy causes and replace the timber that we have used so that future generations can share the same experience." ** NEW 15,000 MEMBER TARGET - JOIN TIME TEAM ON PATREON! ** Help us reach our new goal of 15,000 active members on Patreon, to continue developing more sites and create more new episodes.
