In 1937 , wooden planks belonging to an Ancient Boat were discovered by a local man on the shore of the Humber. Originally estimated to date from 1300 BC , newer estimates using Radiocarbon Dating have placed the boats between the years 1890 BC to 1700 BC , in the Bronze Age . The Ferriby boats are the earliest known boats found in Europe, the only other boats from a similar period found in Britain , are the ones found at Dover . Details on the boats can be found on an information board on Ferriby foreshore, on a public footpath that forms part of the Trans Pennine Trail . The path goes from Ferriby to Hessle alongside the River Humber, and gives probably the best views of the Humber Bridge . The local Football club, North Ferriby United A.F.C. , plays in the Northern Premier League . Ferriby Railway Station serves the village. |
