Gribshunden
(The Griffin-Hound),
sunk in 1495,
is possibly the best preserved
15th century warship in the world.
Probably built in the Netherlands
with timber from France,
used by the Danish king on travels
to England, Norway and Sweden,
it is truly an international shipwreck.
Since it is carvel built,
it can also give important clues
to the ship building techniques
used by the great explorers,
Columbus and Vasco da Gama
