There's an interesting article on the discovery of eight well-preserved boats at http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2013/jun/04/eight-prehistoric-boats-bronze-age - though some of the comments suggest that it isn't actually anything new.

The BBC has a video on the subject: mainly talk but with a few good closeups of the boats later in the clip (they do peel back the plastic).
