Introduction
The Yenikapı Shipwrecks constitute the world's largest collection of medieval ships. The Yenikapı 16 shipwreck is a rowing warship, also called a galley, dated to the 9th century AD. There is no other archaeological example in the world in such a well-preserved condition that dating to the 9th century. For this reason, the detailed documentation of the galley and the creation of 3D images and obtaining visual data about the wreck in an understandable way are of great importance for the preservation and transfer of underwater cultural heritage to future generations.
Methods
Ship elements were documented in 3D with FaroArm, a 3D contact digitizer device within the scope of the study. For maximum accuracy, the Fusion model was used with an accuracy of up to 0.051 mm. 3D solid models were created with the help of Rhinoceros software for each ship element documented linearly (wireframe). These models will be used as the basic element of the reconstruction works to be carried out later.
Results
Within the device, 25 different elements such as tool marks, section and plan views, wood and metal fasteners, wood grain, damaged parts, original joints, which can be a reference for determining shipbuilding techniques on wooden elements, were evaluated and recorded in different colours in the Rhinoceros program. 208 ship elements of the Yenikapı 16 shipwreck were drawn and models were created within the scope of the study. Nine of the frames with high water content and intense deterioration could not be modelled due to this deterioration.
Conclusions
The 3D models obtained from the 1:1 scale drawings made with the FaroArm device were placed on the drawing obtained with the in situ Total Station drawing. With the data generated, a 3D model of the in situ Yenikapı 16 shipwreck with a length of 22.5 m and a width of 2.40 was obtained. A scaled physical research model of the original boat form can be made by using the digital solid model obtained by creating comprehensive and detailed digital data.
