Volunteers are adding the first nail to the hull as the recreation of the burial ship takes shape.
Project manager Jacq Barnard and master shipwright Tim Kirk said they were "delighted" the replica of ship found at Sutton Hoo would be taking on its full shape
The 88ft reconstruction of the burial ship, excavated in 1939, is being built in a shed beside the River Deben in Woodbridge, Suffolk., starring Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes. Currently, the team behind the £1.5m scheme have built the "backbone" of the ship - including the keel, stem and sternpost - and now they are ready to start attaching 100 planks with rivets."This time next year, we should see the whole ship in its full glory," he added.
Sutton Hoo is thought to be the final resting place of the King Raedwald - the 7th Century Anglo-Saxon ruler of East Anglia.
