Abstract
A fragment of a wooden sailing ship became exposed on the shore in Melnragė (part of Klaipėda city, Lithuania), north of Klaipėda port entrance in autumn of 2014. The fragment constitutes the aft part of a carvel-built ship. The ship was built in the 19th century and represents the period of active shipbulding and international trade among different regions of the Baltic and North Seas. Apart from dendrochronological analysis, several features of the wreck, namely, scale denoting the draught of the ship and several timber marks scribed on one of the ribs help in dating the wreck. The study of these features are the main task of this paper.
