A MESSAGE FROM PETER CLARK ABOUT THE AMAZING REPLICA OF THE DOVER BRONZE AGE BOAT AND PLANNED VOYAGE–WATCH THE GREAT WEB VIDEO LINKED BELOW:
Dear all,
This summer we hope to finish the replica of the Dover Bronze Age Boat and launch it to conduct sea trails and maybe sail it from Dover to Folkestone in the shadow of the famous White Cliffs. The half scale replica is based strictly on the archaeological evidence of the original boat, and we are very excited about the possibility of learning more about the seafaring capabilities of our prehistoric ancestors.
Of course, this will all take money, and we have therefore launched a ‘Kickstarter’ campaign in the hope of raising the necessary funds. More information can be found at:

It would be wonderful if you could help in any way and please, please could you pass on this message to all of your friends and colleagues; the more people who know about this, the more likely we might be able to realise our dream!
Many thanks
All best wishes
Peter
