正如Fletcher-Tomenius等人的文章（本卷）所报道的那样，1997年夏天，Hydrosalve有限公司开始对1763年在英格兰北康沃尔海岸丢失的邮局包裹汉诺威的残骸进行打捞工作。这张纸条是大卫帕勒姆和克里斯安德伍德每周监测打捞的结果。他们受英国媒体文化和体育部（DCMS）的委托，沿着霍华德默里为Hydrosalve提供考古监督，一旦沉船被指定为1973年沉船保护法。虽然提交人的任命在打捞作业结束时终止，但他们后来能够通过航海考古学会培训计划从事一些挖掘后的工作。然而，当Hydrosalve被另一家打捞公司ORCA收购后，这一切就结束了，随后又被深海勘探公司收购。虽然这些发现是在后者的拥有，作者能够记录其中一些，由伯恩茅斯大学和英国遗产资助。1997年9月，Ruth Brown视察了从现场打捞上来的军械，提供了初步意见和鉴定。当时的理解是，随后将进行更详细的研究，但遗憾的是，这项研究从未进行过。有些军械当时无法获得，因为它们正在被保存，而另一些则无法获得。在可利用的短时间内，在不太理想的条件下拍摄了照片、进行了初步测量并作了记录。这里展示的图纸是根据这份有限的录音汇编而成的。特别是，估计口径（表明枪支的尺寸和射出的子弹的重量）被证明是困难的，因此只给出口径的指示，并应允许误差。其他测量也可能不可靠。因此，这是对打捞沉船后所取回和部分记录的物品的总结和讨论。其中大部分的位置现在是未知的，虽然有一小部分是在康沃尔国家海事博物馆（NMMC）的收藏品中保存的，作者目前持有的其余现场记录和照片也将存档。
As reported in the article by Fletcher-Tomenius et al. (this volume), in the summer of 1997 Hydrosalve Ltd began salvage work on the wreck of the Post Office packet Hanover, lost in 1763 off the coast of North Cornwall, England. This note is the result of weekly monitoring of the salvage by David Parham and Chris Underwood. They were commissioned by the Department of Media Culture and Sport UK (DCMS), along with Howard Murray for Hydrosalve, to provide archaeological supervision once the wreck was designated under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973. Although the authors’ appointment ceased at the end of the salvage operation, they were later able to carry out some post excavation work through the Nautical Archaeology Society training scheme. However, this ended when Hydrosalve was acquired by another salvage concern, ORCA, and subsequently by Deep Sea Exploration. While the finds were in the possession of the latter, the authors were able to record some of them, funded by Bournemouth University and English Heritage. In September 1997, Ruth Brown inspected the ordnance raised from the site to provide preliminary advice and identification. At the time it was understood that this would be followed by a more detailed study which unfortunately never took place. Some of the pieces of ordnance were not available at the time as they were being conserved and others were inaccessible. In the short time available, photographs, preliminary measurements and notes were taken in less than ideal conditions. The drawings presented here have been compiled from this limited recording. In particular, estimating the bore, which indicates the size of gun and the weight of shot it threw, proved difficult, thus only an indication of calibre is given and allowance should be made for errors. Other measurements may also be unreliable. This, then, is a summary and discussion of the objects retrieved and partially recorded following the salvage of the wreck. The location of most of these is now unknown, although a small number are held within the collections of the National Maritime Museum Cornwall (NMMC) where the remaining site records and photographs held currently by the authors will also be archived.
