Hi everyone!
上次我在博客上写信时，我正在讨论我的工作Princess Carolina（即Ronson）作为研究生保护实习生。好吧，从那以后，我已经完成了研究生课程，并开始了一个激动人心的新项目，并与另一艘出色的船只一起工作：La Isabel!

A Look at the Unknown and Hope for the Future: The Artwork of Shipyard and Museum Staff Artist Thomas C. Skinner
发表于
托马斯·卡特利·斯金纳（Thomas Catlett Skinner）的办公室是一个阁楼，俯瞰纽波特新闻船厂的干船坞。他经常会收集自己的工具并在院子里徘徊，停下来观察和记录他面前的许多场景。熔融钢的桶。红色的金属梁弯曲成形。画布码变成了帆。午餐休息时间的欢迎。工头的脸的强度。下一次航行的船被改装。造船厂以外的任何人和许多人从未知道的活动很少见到的场景。
斯金纳’s tools were paint, pencils, canvas and paper. His loft workspace shook with the unending pounding from riveting hammers and vibrations from heavy machinery. And when he set up his easel beside the piers, dry docks and workers, he was surrounded by noise and dirt and exposed to the fickleness of the weather. Yet despite the adversity, he created amazing drawings and paintings that transport the viewer back in time. His body of work contains striking, colorful images that make it easy to imagine all the noises in the shipyard, the sound and feeling of waves acting on a ship and the harsh sounds of battle. Today, as part of our 90thAnniversary celebration, we take a look at the Mariners’ Museum staff artist, Thomas Skinner, some of his work, and its importance.
通过收藏建立国际联系
发表于
许多博物馆始于一个人一生收集自己喜欢的东西的人，家庭成员可能会开玩笑地称其为“ ho积”，直到他们意识到宝藏的重要性。然后，该收藏成为新博物馆的基础。亚博平台网址水手博物馆和公园的不同之处在于，我们从一个有公园的博物馆开始，然后不得不搜索并建造收藏品。购买对象的这种过程使我们能够建立正直和真实性的声誉，然后建立了导致捐赠的关系。
在1930年收到我们的宪章后，博物馆开始在公园工作，开发土地并创造了现在的水手湖。然后，重点转移到了博物馆的建筑本身和收藏品，我们派出买家来寻找重要的代表性物品，以讲述所有海上历史的故事，而不仅仅是美国人。
Saving Princess Carolina: Acidification Research and Future Treatment Options
发表于
Hi! My name is Christy and I’m a conservation intern here at the Batten Conservation Complex. Over the past eight months I’ve been working on a research project at The Mariners’ Museum and Park for the final year of my graduate program at Durham University. This project has involved a condition analysis and investigation of potential treatments for thePrincess Carolinatimbers which are currently deteriorating because of acid formation.
Although my time as an intern is almost up, we have recently found out that I’ll be able to continue my work here next year! The Mariners’ has been named one of six museums to receive the Kress Conservation Fellowship which provides funding for a post-graduate fellow at the Museum. I will serve as that fellow as I continue the exciting research I’m about to tell you all about!

The Plastics Age
History is filled with ages that are tied to the innovation of materials: The Stone Age, The Bronze Age, and The Iron Age. We are currently in The Plastics Age. Plastics have changed so much in our daily lives. Plastics are around us all the time. They are in every electrical thing in our houses, in the clothes that we wear, in our furniture and the packaging of our food.
This means that as caretakers of historic objects, museums have to consider how long plastic materials will last in our collections. We focus on what we have to do and learn in order to care for plastic objects. We also study plastics in order to store them in ways that better ensure their survival. This is a complicated thing. Plastics are not simple materials, and what works for one may damage another. Some plastics have been around longer than others, so we know more about them. We can see how they’ve aged. For other plastics, we can guess at how they will survive (or not) based on their behaviors and chemistries, while still others are a gigantic question mark.
