Cap'n Rick Wakeham of the Matthew and his bosun

Since 7 this morning Rick, his crew and his boat The Matthew have been playing their part in a documentary about a wreck that has been found off Donegal. The original 15th century Matthew was built about 100 years before the wreck which has been dated from its wood. Apparently the wood's origin has been traced to the Bristol area so it is fitting that The Matthew was used for the film.

For history buffs here is a bit more information
