“In the Land of Submarines”: Documenting Nishimura 3746

Posted on
Japanese submarine Nishimura 3746 in 2020

This week “in the Land of Submarines” we’re focusing on documenting the Japanese submarine Nishimura 3746. Previously we talked about itshistory和我们的initial assessment船体。所有这项活动都在准备将子移动到自定义摇篮和新家。

Since it’s arrival at the Museum in 1946, the sub has been displayed and stored outside. At 35 feet long and 22 tons, keeping it inside wasn’t an option at an institution where space is at a premium. As we prepare the sub for lifting one of our major steps is documenting its condition. After 82 years the hull is still sound, however we’re paying particular attention to the keel.阅读更多

家里的保守党

This Monday marks eight weeks since the museum staff started working from home. For the Conservation Department it’s been an interesting transition. The majority of our daily life is spent treating objects, constructing object housing, and running analytical equipment. None of which we can do from home. In fact, professional museum bodies frown on conservators taking their work (aka the objects) home with them. Fair enough, but it does beg the question: whathave你们都在做什么？

I’m so glad you asked. Paperwork. Lots and lots of paperwork. We’re finishing reports, catching up on research, and organizing object files. Also watching webinars, completing training, and planning for the future. It has been nice to have time to devote to the things that are usually relegated to the back burner.阅读更多

帮助识别一个神秘的神器

在过去的13年里，Noaa考古学家和海军救助博物馆保护商已经发现了百分之百的神奇文物监视器‘s revolving gun turret. Some artifacts, like the Dahlgren guns, gun carriages, and gun tools, are undergoing conservation as I type this blog entry. Others have already been fully conserved and are now on display within the USS监视器Center at The Mariners’ Museum or have been loaned to other institutions around the country to help share监视器‘s fascinating stories.

但是，有少数文物继续在实验室中透明，特别是那些完全保守但未正确识别的工件。它可能听起来很奇怪或令人惊讶的是，在过去的13年中，我们尚未成功地从炮塔上识别每一个伪影。但是，当许多材料从考古环境中挖掘出来时，这通常是这种情况。阅读更多

The Ronson Ship

This is a baby shoe found in the Ronson collection. There was a plethora of shoe leather found in the hull of the Ronson. The larger shoe is in the picture for size comparison. The larger shoe is probably an adult male shoe.

Welcome to the Ronson ship!

I am an intern in the Collections Management department and I have been tasked with re-cataloging and re-housing all of the artifacts that pertain to the Ronson ship. The bags and boxes that the Ronson ship artifacts were placed in when they came to The Mariner’s Museum in 1985 are falling a part which means the items are not properly stored. So I am going through each and every box (there are 78 boxes, that I am aware of) and putting all the items back into new bags. When the Ronson ship came The Mariner’s Museum a cataloging system was not put in places nor was a detailed inventory sheet made. So I am re-numbering each item and creating a new inventory sheet of each box.阅读更多
