The drained turret from summer of 2016

没错,这几乎是炮塔季节!我们将在7月31日排出炮塔坦克,从那时起,我们每天都在保护实验室里的人们每天都在炮塔坦克。相信我,我们都很高兴再次回到炮塔!

You may remember from our previous blog posts that last summer we worked on removing all of the推迟性从炮塔的内部。今年夏天,我们将评估推迟性的状态,甚至可能会干冰爆炸,因此请继续关注更多的推迟更新!Read more

Adventures in Archaeology

发表于

过去的这个周末,我们几个人从监视器b got to go on a grand adventure to learn about one of our favorite topics, archaeology! (Conservation of course will always be number one in my heart, but archaeology runs a close second) The Middle Atlantic Archaeological Conference(MAAC) was hosted this year in Virginia Beach, and not only were we able to attend, but we were accepted to present in the conference as well.

MAAC友善地允许监视器实验室的工作人员和我们的一些同事来自威廉斯堡殖民地,弗吉尼亚联邦大学和马里兰州的考古保护实验室,以专门针对考古保护。讲座的范围从考古对象的保护到解释保护背后的一些科学。凯特谈论了很多makers marksdiscoveries made through conservation. And below is an images of Hannah, discussing how technology can be used to bring both conservation and archaeology to the public!Read more

干冰爆炸:约克镇枪支

约克镇枪爆破前

本周,我们将从您通常的炮塔更新中绕道,以进行一些干冰!After quite a bit of research we figured out the best settings for Dry Ice Blasting on cast iron (previously we’ve only treated wrought iron with this method) and our first application is for the treatment of a pair of British guns from The Revolutionary War. These guns were part of the armament on transport vessels supporting General Lord Cornwallis’s British army during the Yorktown Campaign. The guns were sunk when Cornwallis ordered the transport vessels to be sunk as obstructions, to prevent the nearby French fleet from coming to the aid of General George Washington’s troops.

The guns were raised from the York River in 1934 through a joint effort by The Mariners’ Museum, National Park Service, and Newport News Shipyard, and they’ve lived happily on and off display at both Yorktown and The Mariners’ Museum. But as you can see, they need a little TLC before they can be displayed again.Read more
