According to the information card –
“One of the most important discoveries on the ancient shoreline happened on 3rd August 1982, when the keel of a boat overturned by the force of the eruption began to emerge from the volcanic material in front of the Suburban Baths.
It lay on top of a debris layer made up of beams, pieces of wood, roof tiles and building materials that had been carried by the first volcanic flow from the city’s rooftops onto the beach below.
Later a faster and more destructive pyroclastic flow came into contact with the sea, creating eddies and seismic sea waves that knocked the boat over, hurling it onto the beach. During this event the boat was damaged by the large roof and floor beams from Herculaneum’s houses, which smashed the keel and bent the planking, ending up wedged there,
The boat was then buried by the subsequent pyroclastic flows and remained sealed in the volcanic material which quickly hardened, and as this kept out oxygen, the wood was preserved.”

Six oars were found in the bath building in Insula Occidentalis at Herculaneum, along with parts of other boats, a red prow in the shape of a serpent, a wooden rudder and a pile of planking ready for use. This shows that the bath building was not in use at the time of the eruption but had been transformed into a space for laying-up boats and storing maritime equipment.

Capstan used for pulling large boats ashore. Photo courtesy of Buzz Ferebee.
According to the information card –
“Even more exceptional is the winch found in the new excavations area of the Insula Occidentalis.
This seems to be a capstan, with its slots for the manoeuvring bars and elements for receiving the rope still well-preserved.
It is likely this was used in a maritime context, as there are direct parallels with the wooden winches used on ships and in ports until the nineteenth century.”

Herculaneum, June 2019. Trawl line in a wicker basket. Photo courtesy of Buzz Ferebee.
According to the information card –
This wicker basket with its lid was recovered, then x-rayed to show it contained a trawl line, one of the oldest pieces of equipment used by fishermen in the Mediterranean. The long main rope was carefully laid in its container, hooks were attached to it at regular intervals with pieces of line.
The size of the hooks influenced which fish were caught, showing that the Romans were fishing selectively.
The preferred equipment of working fishermen were wide nets made of vegetable fibres, mainly flax, weighed down by lead weights and with cork floats (sagena) on the edges.
A lone fisherman working from the beach could use a casting net (iaculum), still widely used in the Bay of Naples until the last century.
This conical net was thrown with the opening downwards. Having reached the bottom, the net was then brought in, lines closed off the opening so that the fish could not get out. 
For calling and signalling, fishermen used a large shell, called a triton, with the point cut off. 
This was one of the largest gastropods in the Mediterranean, and it was used for this purpose throughout ancient times.”
