HMS Victory and the Mary Rose: Comparative Conservation Strategies for the Preservation of Neighbouring Historic Warships

玛丽·玫瑰号和HMS胜利号可以说是英国最重要的两艘历史战舰，在保护方面都面临着多重挑战。这个博士项目将调查船上橡木的保存状态，并探索它们所经历的不同环境和保护处理如何改变原始材料及其化学、生物和机械性能。这些发现如何影响这两艘船各自的长期养护管理战略？该项目将进一步调查如何以视觉方式记录不同的木材保存状态和保存处理对木材的影响，以便通过博物馆网站和游客景点传播。该项目将由法比奥·达格纳诺先生(UWE)、埃莉诺·斯科菲尔德博士(玛丽·罗斯信托基金)和戴安娜·戴维斯夫人(皇家海军国家博物馆)共同监督。

The Mary Rose and HMS Victory are arguably the two most important historic warships in the UK, and both face multiple challenges in terms of their conservation. This PhD project will investigate the preservation state of the oak timbers on the ships and explore how the different environments and conservation treatments they have experienced have altered the initial materials and their chemical, biological and mechanical properties. How do the findings influence the ships' respective long-term conservation management strategies? The project will further investigate how the different wood preservation states and the impact of conservation treatments on the timbers can be recorded visually for dissemination through museum websites and visitor attractions. The project will be co-supervised by Mr Fabio D'Agnano (UWE), Dr Eleanor Schofield (Mary Rose Trust) and Mrs Diana Davis (National Museum of the Royal Navy).
