In the sequence of photographs above we can see the "prima nave" with the hull awash, a shot with the hull partly clear of the water and then finally the ship completely on dry land.



With the removal of the first ship from the waters of the lake the effort was on for the second ship. As the water level continued to drop it too gradually appeared and finally its timbers were laid bare for archaeologists and engineers to begin its conservation, study and preparations for removal.
