A medieval shipwreck dubbed the ‘Beluga ship’ was discovered in 2007 in the course of the rescue excavation in the construction pit at Bremen’s Teerhof.1 The site is located on a promontory dividing River Weser from a side arm. The Beluga ship is the first medieval shipwreck in this city with notable traditional Scandinavian features.2 It thus complements the great variety of shipwrecks discovered in Bremen so far (Fig. 1, no. 7). The presence of wrecks of both inland and seagoing craft emphasises Bremen’s role as international port of transhipment, connecting the hinterland with the North Sea. This paper is divided into three main sections, the first being a brief summary of technical details, followed by an evaluation in which the Beluga ship is set in the context of other wrecks in north-western Europe in terms of construction and timber provenances and, in conclusion, the implications of the assumed Scandinavian origin and the local site context in the Lower Weser region are explored.
