Under cog from Poel means a wreck sites near Timm village on the island of Poel , as well as a replica in the interpretation as a medieval cog under the name Wissemara .
Find
The wreck of the ship, known as Poel 11 because of its location , was recovered in 1999 northwest of the Timmendorf pier on the island of Poel . First investigations of the wrecked wood initially showed that the pines had been felled around 1354 in the area of the city of Thorn , which indicated their origin in Danzig . Later dendrological investigations disproved this dating, the time around 1773 is now given as the presumed year of construction and the origin is located in Finland . Due to the modern year of construction, more than a century after the fall of the Hanseatic League and thus far from its heyday, it is unlikely that the Poeler wreck was actually the Hansekogge type of ship. The ship was built using clinker brick.
Initially, the discovery of the Poeler wreck was considered the first archaeological evidence of the special type of "Baltic cog". This regional form of a cog would be particularly large and shallow, so that it would be easier to sail on shallow lagoon or lagoon waters with a shallower draft . Due to the new knowledge about the actual year of construction, these estimates can no longer be maintained. It is unclear whether this type of "Baltic cog" ever existed.
Replica
In the Wismar harbor there is a replica of a Hanseatic cog inspired by the Poel 11 wreckage . This replica was made under scientific guidance, consciously based on shipbuilding methods of the 14th century. The ship was stacked in the water on May 29, 2004 and christened Wissemara . After setting the mast, building the aft fort , assembling a (mandatory) auxiliary engine and other work, the cog's maiden voyage to the Hanse Sail in Rostock took place on August 9, 2006 .
The replica serves as a tourist attraction during the lay times in the Wismar harbor. But it is also used for investigations into experimental archeology . Thus, among other things, the driving and sailing properties can be studied on the object.
