According to a Channel 12 report, the 70-meter tapestry was specially folded, placed in a climate-controlled container and shock-absorbing device, and transported by truck across the English Channel in an 11-hour, 560-km journey with police escort. The report follows The Zioneer's earlier coverage of the tapestry's arrival at the British Museum.
The Zioneer reported earlier that the Bayeux Tapestry arrived at the British Museum in London overnight in a secret operation. Now, new details from Channel 12 (N12) shed light on the transport. The 70-meter medieval embroidery was specially folded to fit a climate-controlled container equipped with a shock-absorbing mechanism. It was transported by truck across the English Channel in an 11-hour journey covering 560 km, with a police escort. The care taken underscores the artifact's fragility and historical significance.
