最近介绍着我们的注意力已经开始，我们正在抛出我们从萨拉福布斯博士收到的SS美国的碎片，所以我想这个机会解决这个问题。我会说明我们没有卖掉SS美国在eBay上的物品，我们没有计划这样做。我不确定这个谣言如何开始，但是我猜测有人看到一个美国eBay账户，Maritimesales，在3月底出售的SS美国海报。
我们在eBay上销售的是重复的海报。我们已经在集合中拥有这张海报，并且可以让我们有一个很好的副本。虽然我们通常会向拍卖会寄出这个流行和有价值的海报，但我们决定在eBay上列出这一个，因为它是令人恐惧的形状，比你从图像中看到的更多。我们只在eBay上销售具有低或未知值的eBay。eBay拍卖所做的金钱返回收集，要么为已经在集合中的那些购买新物品或照顾。
在Mariners的博物馆，而不是回到星期四，我们决定在周三做回来（我们有太多星期四活动来做前者）。我上个月发布了几张照片，展示了我们的物体和公园，所以我本月的大部分照片
These first two images show what our library used to look like. The one on the left shows the general library space in January 15, 1935 with tables for researchers in the center among the books. The setup is a bit different now as visitors to the library can no longer do research among the general collection, but in the research room outside of the collection. Our library is also no longer located on our campus, but about a mile away on the Christopher Newport University Campus, which helps it to be a great resource for researchers and students. The second image is from 1953 and shows the card catalog room (with ladies that have so obviously been staged, hah!). Our library is a fantastic resource as it holds the largest maritime history collection in the Western Hemisphere. Click这里要了解有关库的更多信息。
现在是时候谈论我的公园对象中的另一个艺术品，这是一个由...赞助的小跑The Bronze Door Society(a big thank you to them!). This anchor was one of several donated in 1961 to us by Baldt Anchor, Chain and Forge Division of The Boston Metals Company. It gets its name from John Trotman, who patented this particular type of anchor in 1852. This particular anchor was made by Noah Hingley & Sons Ltd. of Netherton, England, a company that was involved with creating the anchors used by RMSTitanicand RMS卢萨里塔尼亚.
Above is the anchor being taken from our trailer into戴维斯船厂, as this was another one that they and Everette Howell from Coastal Cleaning LLC worked on. There is no way that we would have ever been able to work on these as fast as they have been, which is a big help in keeping up with the project.
虽然辛迪和我做了大部分博客，但我们的老板，珍妮，偶尔有她想要分享的东西，但她在这里选择了一个账户，这就是我代表她发布的原因。所以从Jeanne，Aka Boss Lady享受这条消息！
5月22日nI had the pleasure (alright, I’ll admit it, I was scared to death) of speaking at the American Alliance of Museums annual conference in Baltimore about a subject that is near, but not so dear, to my heart. The session, titled “Mysterious Disappearances: Where’s my Stuff?” focused on the problem of internal theft in museums and libraries. The session’s speakers included several noted experts: Miles Harvey, author of the bookThe Island of Lost Maps; Gregory J. Smith, Executive Vice President at Berkley Asset Protection, an expert in loss control and risk assessment in the fine art and jewelry fields; and Robert Wittman, who served as one of the FBI’s top investigators in cases involving art theft and art fraud who also helped form the FBI’s rapid response Art Crime Team. And me!
在这里，我再次讨论我在公园锚的另一个艺术，这也赞助了青铜门社会(they have been super kind to sponsor three of our anchors!). This one is an admiralty type anchor (ca 1900-1950), which was a very popular type of anchor in the 19th century as the design was thought to be superior.
This particular anchor (seen flying in the picture above) was part of a large donation of anchors by the Baldt Anchor, Chain and Forge Division of the Boston Metals Company in 1961. A very generous donation. Like many others, this anchor was taken to戴维斯船厂where Everette Howell and others worked on blasting, cleaning and painting it for us. And we are extremely grateful to them for the help!
