ForSEAdiscovery is a European funded (Grant agreement no.: 607545) project that combines dendrochronology, archaeology, and history in a multi-disciplinary approach to understand timber supplies for the construction of early modern vessels in the Iberian Peninsula. The overarching objective for the ForSEAdiscovery project is to consolidate a research line combining history, maritime archaeology, geographical information systems (GIS), dendrochronology, wood anatomy, and geo/dendro chemistry. The project aims to train and improve the proficiency of the Initial Training Networks (ITN) fellows and students in different research areas. It provides work experience and engages the fellows in workshops designed to improve their communication, research, and management techniques to promote transferable skills for future research in academia and the private sector. The project is organised into three working packages (WP) for the different disciplines represented. Work package one is focused on history (WP 1), the second work package deals with maritime archaeology (WP 2), and the third work package revolves around the wood sciences (WP 3). The research leading to these results has received funding from the People Programme (Marie Curie Actions) of the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013/ under REA grant agreement n° [607545]. This collection represents the data collected by ForSEAdiscovery during the fieldwork operations in 2015 and 2016. It is archaeological and diver data collected on five different shipwreck sites, four in the north of Spain, and one off the south coast of England. The collection consists of diver video, underwater photos, topsides photos, site reports, dive administration, and underwater photogrammetry

During dredging works in the Ribadeo estuary of north-west Spain, in 2011, a large and well-preserved shipwreck was discovered. Construction features suggested a date for the ship in the late 16th century, making this wreck a remarkable find for Spanish heritage, as it is one of the best-preserved shipwrecks from that time ever found in Spanish waters. Dendrochronological research on 29 samples retrieved in 2012 failed to produce dates for the timbers; consequently, the exact date of the ship and its possible construction location remained unknown. In 2015 additional archaeological survey works were planned for the site in order to document further exposed structures of the shipwreck, and to collect additional samples for dendrochronological research. Simultaneously, historical research was conducted in Spanish archives to search for documents referring to the wreckage of ships in the Ribadeo estuary in the 16th and early 17th centuries. The results of this multidisciplinary researc...

Una de las cuestiones más difícil de determinar durante el estudio de los restos arqueológicos de un pecio es la referida a su tonelaje original. Esta comunicación presenta los resultados preliminares del estudio realizado en el Ship Lab del Nautical Archaelogy Program (Texas A&M) acerca de los métodos de arqueamiento utilizados en España desde finales del siglo XVI a principios del siglo XVII. El valor del arqueamiento de un buque era de gran importancia ya su tonelaje determinaba sus características constructivas y el valor de la compensación económica del embargo, el sistema mediante el cual el monarca requisaba buques para sus necesidades navales. De la misma forma, el valor del arqueamiento de los buques también se encontraba en la base del sistema impositivo de la monarquía en relación al comercio ultramarino. El presente estudio pretende determinar si es posible establecer una correlación entre las diferentes formulas de arqueamiento proporcionadas por los diversos tratados navales de inicios de la Edad Moderna y los escasos restos materiales de pecios ibéricos excavados hasta la fecha.

After the Armada sent in 1588 several more attempts were made to invede3 the British Islands. This is an overview of 1596 Armada, that had a similar fate than the previous 1588 attemp, sunk against the coast on Corcubion inlet. The discover of this Armada opens a window over the last years of XVI century both on militar material and ship construction.

El estudio del pecio de Punta Restelos se engloba dentro del proyecto «Finisterre», cuya finalidad es la prospección y documentación de los pecios localizados principalmente en el área de Finisterre. Las prospecciones realizadas desde el año 2007 por parte de la firma Archeonauta S. L., con el apoyo de la Consellería de Cultura de la Xunta
de Galicia, el Plan Nacional para la Protección del Patrimonio Subacuático y el Institute of Nautical Archaeology (Texas A&M University), han documentado diversos materiales cuyo estudio ha permitido datar el pecio a finales del siglo xvi. Esta fecha coincide con
los naufragios, en 1596, de 25 buques entre Corcubión y Finisterre pertenecientes a la flota del Adelantando de Castilla, Martín de Padilla, que se dirigía a Irlanda transportando un ejército expedicionario. Por todo ello, los restos del pecio de Punta Restelos corresponden a un buque de Armada de finales del siglo xvi.
The study of the Punta Restelos shipwreck is included within the Finisterre Project, whose main objective is the surveying and recording of all the shipwrecks located mainly in the area of Cape Finisterre. The underwater surveys conducted since 2007 by the CRM firm Archeonauta S. L., with the support of the Consellería de Cultura de la Xunta de Galicia, Plan Nacional para la Protección del Patrimonio Subacuático, and the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (Texas A&M University), have documented different materials whose study has allowed to date the shipwreck at the end of the 16th century. This date matches with the sinking in 1596 of 25 ships between Corcubión and Finisterre which were part of the Adelantado de Castilla fleet, Martín de Padilla, when it was heading to Ireland carrying an expeditionary army. Therefore, the remains of the Punta Restelos shipwreck correspond to an Armada ship of late xvi century.
