Salvaged items from a 17th Century merchant vessel shipwrecked off the Dorset coast have gone on display. The so-called Swash Channel Wreck was found in a sand and shingle bank outside Poole Harbour after the bank was struck by a dredger in 1990.
Items including a carved merman and a replica of the rudder are among the highlights of the exhibition being held at Poole Museum.
Little is still known about the name and origins of the vessel and its crew.
