The Longshed

Museum | Woodbridge | England | Großbritannien

Das Longshed in Woodbridge ist ein einzigartiges Zentrum, das sich der Rekonstruktion und dem Verständnis des angelsächsischen Schiffs von Sutton Hoo widmet. Dieses Projekt zielt darauf ab, das historische Schiff, das im 7. Jahrhundert vergraben wurde, in seiner vollen Länge von etwa 27 Metern nachzubauen. Die Rekonstruktion erfolgt unter Verwendung traditioneller Techniken und Materialien, um ein authentisches Abbild des Originals zu schaffen.

Im Longshed können Besucher den Fortschritt der Schiffsbauarbeiten verfolgen und mehr über die historischen Methoden erfahren, die bei der Konstruktion des Schiffs angewendet wurden. Das Zentrum bietet eine Vielzahl von Veranstaltungen, Workshops und Ausstellungen an, die sich mit der Geschichte des Schiffs, der angelsächsischen Kultur und der Schiffbaukunst beschäftigen. Diese Aktivitäten ermöglichen es den Besuchern, ein tieferes Verständnis für die Bedeutung des Schiffs von Sutton Hoo und seine Rolle in der Geschichte Englands zu entwickeln.

Das Longshed ist nicht nur ein Ort der Rekonstruktion, sondern auch ein lebendiges Zentrum für Bildung und Gemeinschaft. Es fördert den Austausch zwischen Fachleuten, Freiwilligen und der Öffentlichkeit und trägt so zur Bewahrung und Vermittlung des kulturellen Erbes der Region bei. Durch die aktive Beteiligung der Gemeinschaft wird das Projekt zu einem bedeutenden Beitrag zur historischen Forschung und zum kulturellen Leben in Woodbridge und darüber hinaus.

Fabulous place with extremely knowledgeable staff and volunteers. Fascinating history of the ship and ship building techniques of the time. Well worth a visit (or several, as the ship takes shape and the building advances) Beautiful setting too.

Building a full sized replica of the Sutton Hoo burial ship - an amazing project! But doing it using traditional building methods makes it harder and more impressive, even more so when you add that the skills and techniques of these shipbuilding methods have been lost and so need to be recovered and relearned. On top of which the wood required is no longer abundantly available. An almost impossible project slowly and magnificently rising from the keel slowly but surely. An amazing project, a beautiful project!!

After visiting Sutton Hoo a few years ago we were keen to take a look at this project to recreate a Saxon long boat using traditional methods. The staff and volunteers were helpful in dealing with our questions. No charge to view, but left a donation.

The Long Shed in Woodbridge is a modern maritime heritage center located along the River Deben, near the Woodbridge Tide Mill. It serves as a hub for boat-building projects, including the reconstruction of the historic Sutton Hoo ship, a replica of the 90-foot Anglo-Saxon burial ship discovered nearby. The Long Shed is not only a workshop but also a visitor center where people can learn about the region’s maritime history and craftsmanship. With its blend of historical significance and hands-on exhibits, it offers a unique insight into traditional boat-building techniques and the cultural heritage of the area.
