Wolin in its early medieval history is inextricably linked to the using of water routes and shipbuilding tradition. Even as a town in the early stage of its development, has merged in itself influences of many cultural circles, which can be traced today by examining an archaeological artefacts. With a view to this phenomenon, the aim of this article is the presentation and analysing of construction of 10th century atypical hull fragments of the early medieval clinker-built boats from the archaeological site no. 3 in Wolin. Examined relics consists of four constructional groups – keel made of pine wood, upper strakes with oarports, planks of unusual cross-sectional shape and these with painted external side. They are a part of a set of 80 shipbuilding elements secondary used in the constructions of harbour quays, recorded during archaeological excavations conducted in 2012-2013. The whole observation is embedded on the wide comparative background enabling indication of similar objects – e.g. the finds discovered off the coast of the south Baltic zone and today’s Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Furthermore, the study aims to emphasize the high research value of the heterogeneous set of secondary used planks. On the basis of the observed technical aspects such as raw material, caulking, planks cross-sections, holes for the oars or treatment of the outer sides, there was noted many similarities to the wrecks characteristic for both the lands dominated by Slavs and Scandinavians. Thus, we are able to observe the specificity of the nautical craftsmanship created by two cultural elements. Visible technological diversity of relicts found in Wolin, undoubtedly legitimizes us to apply to this set the assertion about a ‘transregional’ idea existing in early medieval shipbuilding
