This is what we think the galley looked like when it was in use.

The walls and floors of the ovens are made of brick.

They sit on the gravel ballast that was put in the hold of the ship to help keep her stable.

The sides and back of the ovens were supported by strong wooden walls. (We have removed some of them so you can see the galley better).

We didn't find a chimney in the galley. The smoke from the fires might have just gone up through the hatches in the ship's decks.
