Vergulde Draeck (Gilt Dragon)

Fragment of hull planking with two treenails. Exterior surface: Sacrificial planking nail holes preserved, square in section, closely spaced in diagonal or alternating pattern. Two treenails are seated next to one another; one is blind treenail that comes from interior surface and does not protrude through planking's thickness (may indicate that the ceiling planking was treenailed onto frames); second treenail was used to fasten frames to the planking.
