自瑞典瓦萨号军舰打捞起至今已有50年，瓦萨号是最早的木制沉船之一，也是用聚乙二醇（PEG）保存的最大的沉船。现在，PEG是一种标准的浸水木材保护材料，它已经被用于许多其他沉船，这在很大程度上要归功于瓦萨的经验。作为斯德哥尔摩瓦萨博物馆的第二代保护者，我们经常被问到对PEG的看法，以及如果今天又有一艘像瓦萨这样的船出现，我们是否还会使用同样的材料和技术。我们学到了什么，这次我们会做什么不同的事情？在本文中，我们研究了瓦萨的经验，从最初的保护决定，通过最近的研究项目，并研究如何PEG在过去的五十年中的表现。最后，我们将吸取经验教训，并将其应用于未来，无论是瓦萨材料还是新发现的沉船。(C)2012年Elsevier Masson SAS。All rights reserved.
It is now fifty years since the raising of the Swedish warship Vasa, one of the first wooden shipwrecks and certainly the largest to have been conserved with polyethylene glycol (PEG). Now a standard material for waterlogged wood conservation, PEG has since been used on a number of other shipwrecks, thanks largely to the Vasa experience. As the second generation of conservators at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, we are often asked our opinions about PEG, and whether we would still use the same materials and techniques should another ship like Vasa be raised today. What have we learnt and what would we do differently this time? In this paper, we examine the Vasa experience from the initial conservation decisions, through to the most recent research projects and examine how PEG has fared over the last fifty years. Finally, we take the lessons learned and apply them to the future, both for Vasa material and for newly found wrecks. (C) 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
