Summary/Abstract: The author studies fragments of a wooden ship found on the left bank of the Danube (near Izmail, Ukraine) in 1993. Some typological features and metrological indicators of the studied fragments enabled the author to identify the ship as Turkish “sayk” – a small coasting vessel with the capacity of up to 300 tons and length of 20-35 meters. Radiocarbon examination of the timber dated construction of the ship by the late XVII – early XVIII centuries.
