Experts believe the preserved 15th Century vessel is as historically significant as the Mary Rose.
Now historians say the Newport Ship will be the only 15th Century maritime exhibit on show anywhere in the world.
About £8m has already been spent preserving and restoring the timbers, which has included freeze-drying the wood at the Mary Rose museum in Portsmouth. The Newport Ship tells us a bunch of things that the Mary Rose can't, says the TV historian Dan Snow. So the Newport Ship symbolises the birth of this era of European exploration and comes at a very important time in maritime history - just a generation before Christopher Columbus set out across the Atlantic.
It's a truly international find; the wood came from northern Spain and wine from France. It's like a time capsule, a piece of the 15th Century delivered to us here in the 21st Century. Archaeologists plan to allow the public in to watch them reassemble the remains when a venue big enough is secured to take the boat."You can only build it in its final position, but when it is done, it will be stable and has the potential for being on display for in perpetuity."
