  The bronze age boat in the Museum was found when preparing to install a storm water pump for the underpass in Townwall Street. It had sunk, probably after being deliberately abandoned, in a freshwater creek off what was then the broad estuary of the Dour, and had been preserved in the tufa and silt.
  
  I know everybody is aware of this stuff but it doesn't hurt to repeat it.
