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

大家好!我知道最近博客在保护团队中的新闻有很多,但为您做准备一点déjàvu,我写这篇文章介绍自己是newest member. My name is Laurie King, and I joined the team at the beginning of April as an Assistant Conservator. My main focus will be researching techniques for using solid CO2 (or Dry Ice Blasting) to remove corrosion from USSMonitor对象。我是加的夫大学最近的毕业生,在此之前,我实际上是在USS的闲暇时间担任保护志愿者Monitor中心。我很高兴能回来并在Monitor

As long time readers will know, the removal of corrosion from metals can be a long process, involving a lot of detailed and time consuming work. The removal of corrosion isn’t just so the object will look nice and to reveal surface details; if corrosion remains on the surface it can trap salts in the object and cause corrosion in the future! When it comes to USSMonitor物体,这种腐蚀在某些区域可能会厚英寸,这使其成为一个非常艰苦的过程,可以用较小的工具(例如手术刀,牙科工具或空气抄写物)去除腐蚀。当在像炮塔或枪支马车一样大的东西上工作时尤其如此!Read more
