Two assemblages of ship graffiti were recorded using Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) in the ancient port town of Winchelsea. The engravings show characteristics common to most medieval ship graffiti in England, while displaying a certain variety in the level of detail and quality in which ships can be represented using this medium, encouraging a nuanced understanding. It is suggested that, despite these complexities, the ship graffiti demonstrate a multifaceted relationship with the sea. The St Thomas’ church graffiti could have been a means of spiritual protection and a devotional practice that cuts across different communities of practice and social groups, while the seascape in Blackfriars Barn undercroft can be interpreted as an occasion of informal remembrance of the mustering of a large naval fleet before setting out.

英国东萨塞克斯郡Winchelsea的St Thomas教堂和Blackfriars Barn Undercroft船上涂鸦的记录和分析

使用反射转换成像（RTI）在古老的港口小镇温切尔西（Winchelsea）记录了两组涂鸦。这些刻图显示了英格兰大多数中世纪船只涂鸦所共有的特征，同时在细节和质量上显示出一定的变化，可以使用这种媒介来代表船只，这促进了细微的理解。建议尽管有这些复杂性，但船上涂鸦仍表现出与海洋的多方面关系。圣托马斯教堂的涂鸦本来可以作为精神保护和灵修的一种方式，跨越不同领域的实践和社会团体，而布莱克弗里尔斯·巴恩·德罗夫特的海景可以被解释为非正式地纪念召集者的机会。大型海军舰队出发前。
