Cog Bremen

Bremen cog

The Bremen cog is the name given to the wreck of a cog dating back to 1380, which was found off Bremen in 1962. It is now on display in the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven and there are three almost identical replicas of it.

On 8 October 1962, construction workers were carrying out harbour expansion work in the Weser off the Bremen district of Rablinghausen when they came across a wreck hidden in the silt. An archaeologist who was called out quickly established that it was the remains of a cog, which was later dated to around 1380. This dating is based on a dendrochronological analysis of the annual rings of the oak timbers from which the cog was built. Until then, it was the only wreck of this type of ship to have survived to this extent, which scientists had previously only known from Hanseatic League records and illustrations, for example on seals. Due to the incomplete appearance of the ship, it is assumed that it was swept away from its construction site by a flood. Source Wikipedia
