What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Newport Medieval Ship as Wreck from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Newport Medieval Ship is a 15th-century merchant vessel discovered in Newport, Wales, and is one of the best-preserved medieval ships in the world. It was lost around 1470, likely due to a storm, and was rediscovered in 1982 during a construction project; no lives were lost, and it provides significant insight into medieval shipbuilding and trade.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
