Very much out of period, but there are two old ships at Sutton Hoo - don't get the mixed up!

It's surprising how similar their shape is in plan (though the Lady Alice is longer at 38m to Sutton Hoo at 27m).

There's a lot more info on the Lady Alice in the National Heritage Register for England (https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1486922?section=official-list-entry) for historic ship fans.
