My recollection is that the UK was an ancient source of tin, not an importer.

I always thought ancient Britain was a source of Bronze Age tin...?

I was curios about how they came to the conclusion that the boat, “able to carry a huge cargo” was 40” X 6’ with 15 crewmen, since they didn’t find any of the wooden strakes or keel or anything.

That is a very narrow configuration for a bulk cargo transport and would be relatively unstable in seas of any size.
