Geiger Counter Test to Establish Age of the Kentmere Boat -- A geoger counter is to be used to establish the age of the "Kentmrere Boat" an archaelogical relic discovered last May in a dried out lake near Kentmere, Westmorland by Mr. Leslie Ridding, an employee of the Cape Asbestos Company. The boat, 14ft. long, flat-bottomed, with a round stern and shaped bow, has created great interest among naval historians and it is thought that it may date from the Norman Conquest. For the geiger test, a piece of the hull will be submitted to the "carbon 14" test with now apparatus made at Harwell and recently installed at the British Museum. September 20, 1955.
