Abstract
The stern construction of the Emanuel Point II shipwreck was systematically analyzed and compared to eight other shipwrecks from the 16th century to determine the true nature of the stern's original shape. It has largely been assumed that Iberian vessels from the mid-16th century onward carried a square tuck stern, but archaeological analysis of the sternpost, gudgeons, and pintles from the Emanuel Point II shipwreck as well as other wreck sites have produced a list of characteristics archaeologists can apply to wreck sites in order to gain a better understanding of stern shape. Archaeological evidence suggests that the shape of the stern of the Emanuel Point II shipwreck has a higher probability of being rounded, an earlier trait of ship construction from the Iberian Peninsula.
