Multi-Beam Surveys of the Designated Wrecks on the Goodwin Sands and the Downs, 2018 report
Author(s): Daniel Pascoe
In 2018 Pascoe Archaeology was commissioned by Historic England to conduct a multi-beam echo sounder survey (MBES) over six designated sites and one un-designated site in the Goodwin Sands and The Downs region. The six designated sites were the Northumberland, Stirling Castle, Restoration, Rooswijk, and Admiral Gardner on the Goodwin Sands and GAD 8 in The Downs. Gad 23, also known as the ‘Bowsprit Wreck’, was the un-designated site in the Goodwin Sands. This was a repeat survey of the previous survey of the wrecks in 2017, which was also commissioned by Historic England (RRS 84/2017), https://research.historicengland.org.uk/Report.aspx?i=15958 The surveys were conducted between the 10 – 13 April 2018 by a collaborative team including Pascoe Archaeology, MSDS Marine and Swathe Services. The survey vessel, Predator, was provided by Predator Charters Marine Ltd, skippered and crewed by Daniel Poppy and Vince Bushby. High resolution MBES data was collected over each site except for the Admiral Gardner. It was not possible to conduct a survey over the Admiral Gardner because of the lack of water over the site.
