The ship's remains are at some 7 meters (23 feet) below sea level, where construction workers found the upside-down wooden hull of a ship that capsized and sank off what was then the coast of the Catalonian capital. Experts say that the ship's design indicates that it came from somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean.

EVENTS

This podcast has been recorded in two parts. As we reach this section of the show two or three weeks have passed since I first started recording it. As a result some of the events I am mentioning have been and gone. For this I apologize but would like to mention them anyway so that people


  • Gen Con Oz has been and gone but you can always check it out next year as I hear it was a success and is penned in for September next year rather than July.

  • The Abbey Medieval Festival has been and gone. It attracted an estimated 17 000 visitors this year and if you are interested in seeing some pics of the event head on over to abbeypics.com to see some photgraphy by Mark Greenmantle and his team. Great shots abound showcasing the reenactors and performers who attend. If you missed out this time around then start planning for next year. It will be the 20th annivesary of the event and it promises to be huge. It will be on during 4th of July until the 12th with the two day tournament itself being on the 10th and 11th of July. I hope to see you all there!

  • Aaron from New York State in the USA sent me an email to tell us all about his favorite festival in the Northeast USA. http://sterlingfestival.com/ This festival runs on weekends from July 12th-August 17th. I do apologize to you Aaron for not getting details of this event up on the podcast until after the commencement of the event itself.
