Included is a history of the warship, a detailed account of archaeological investigations undertaken and the environmental factors impacting the seabed remains. A review of the ship's construction draws on records of structure remaining on the seabed and recovered material. The artefact collection is considered by material and type. Specialist analysis has enabled greater understanding of ship fittings, weapons, navigation equipment, medical artefacts, food preparation and consumption, clothing and apparel, and life onboard. The volume demonstrates the value of studying dispersed archives from shipwreck excavations and their potential to add considerably to maritime history and archaeology. In this case the examined archaeological records and artefacts from the Stirling Castle offer a compelling insight into the maritime world of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries from a range of perspectives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julian Whitewright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1407356879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781407356877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports (Oxford) Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.71d","brand":"Julian Whitewright","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943072497919,"sku":"9781407356877","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cf997344-ac07-44db-92ea-ca30ad74672e.jpg?v=1681496056","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-stirling-castle-a-70-gun-julian-whitewright-9781407356877","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
