UtrechtSpotting: Utrecht The Utrecht Ship
http://utrechtspotting.blogspot.com/2010/02/utrecht-ship.html
Sunday, 7 February 2010. Utrecht The Utrecht Ship. In the base- ment of the Centraal Museum a long wreck is exposed, known as the Utrecht Ship. At December 5, 1930 it was found during excavation work and was immediately a great sensation. The newspapers were full of them. The director of the museum in that time, Dr. WC Schuylenburg, immediately saw the great scientific importance of the find in the wreck and decided to save it. After many studies the years 1000-1025 seemed to be more likely.

Wednesday, 30 September 2009. Saint Martin was born in Sabaria in 316, now called Hungary. His parents called him after the Roman God Mars. His father was a senior officer in the service of the Roman army. As a 10 years old boy, Martin got interested in the Christian Faith. While Martin was still a soldier at Amiens later, he experienced the vision that became the most-repeated story about his life. He was at the gates of the city of Amiens with his soldiers when he met a scantily dressed beggar.

Tuesday, 23 June 2009. Utrecht Roman Wall, The Opening Mark 3. The Domplein and the Domtower look like an oase of peace on a Sunday morning. You hardly believe that in the year 47 a fortress was built by the Romans when they navigated on the Rhine and arrived at a dry area, where now the Dom Place is. Here they built their fortress, called a castellum. Studies found out where this castellum was exactly situated. And marks of light and mist show the outlines of this castellum.

Monday, 22 March 2010. Utrecht The Spine (de Spinde). You can hardly see the small house with the red roof in front of the hughe Dom Tower. It is called the Spinde and is the only 15th century remain of the Bishop Palace till 1803. The Spinde was the warehouse for the Bishop Palace and stored grain and other food. Later the building was rebuilt to a private house. Much later the house served as a tower watchman's hut. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Utrecht The Spine (de Spinde). View my complete profile.
