Articulated run of three tenoned muntins (plus the broken edge of a fourth) and three associated panels (DP00/085). The shape of the assembly suggests that this was part of a panelled bulkhead, with the upper angle following the camber of the deck above and the outer angle reflecting the tumble-home of the hull. Wall-cladding of this quality is only likely to have been present in the captain's cabin at the upper stern. Scale 50 centimetres.

Complete framed and panelled door (DP00/146). The upper curve probably follows the camber of the deck above, while the low height of the door—1.44m—suggests that there was a substantial sill beneath it to prevent water entering the cabin during stormy weather.

Staves from a small wooden bucket (DP92/DG08, DP97/A027) reconstructable as illustrated. A small round-headed punch has been used to create a simple pattern of dots on the outside. DP99/020 is a round base with a chamfered edge and a mark or initial apparently stamped on the bottom. It is of the right size to fit the bucket but was found elsewhere and may be from another vessel. Scale 10 centimetres.

A small framed and panelled cupboard door (DP99/004). Its top part is angled to match the upper angle of the panelling seen in DP174888, and may be part of the same assembly. The plank (DP99/013) with both its edges moulded is not slotted for panels, and may be from another part of the stern cabin's interior cladding. Scale 30 centimetres.

Decorative mouldings which would have been fixed to the panel-work. They were made by gluing paper shims between three blocks of wood and turning the required shape. The three pieces were then separated, the centre discarded, and the two outer ones—which would have had not quite full semi-circular sections—were retained for use. Scale 10 centimetres.

Semi-circular carved wooden panel (DP00/081, 083) depicting the virtue of Hope as a draped female figure with her attributes of crow, oak trees, and anchor. Housings at the bottom corners suggest that this feature was mounted on pillars as a central feature in the stern decoration. Wooden carving of a classical warrior's head in profile (DP92/DG01). Wooden carving of a winged cherub or putto (DP92/169). Wooden carving showing the lower part of a moustachioed face with an elaborate head-dress (DP97/A025). Fragment of wooden carving (DP03/062).

Two wooden pieces (DP02/017), found conjoined, which appear to be the footing for a major decorative feature, centrally placed (because of its symmetry) on the stern. The top element incorporates a scalloped frieze. The most likely feature with which these were associated would have been the British royal arms, which would complement the heir's badge and harp and thistle carvings shown in DPline096.

Long wooden timber (DP96/010), probably a counter-timber from the external transom structure. Though much abraded, traces of carved decoration can be seen towards the right-hand end, while six joint-faces are spaced regularly from one end to the other. A sliver of surviving timber from a jointed partner can be seen third from left. The lion-headed bracket (DPline097) might well have been part of this array. Scale 50 centimetres.
