piece of cultural heritage. Fortunately, 140 years later, one-fifth of the ship was recovered from the depths of the Atlantic. These one-of-a-kind artifacts now reside within the Batten Conservation Complex at The Mariners’ Museum and Park, where they are undergoing conservation. In partnership with <a href="https://monitor.noaa.gov/">NOAA’s Monitor National Marine Sanctuary</a>, we are proud to be the stewards of this revolutionary vessel. </p> <p>USS <em>Monitor</em> represents the world’s largest marine archaeological metals conservation project. More than 210 tons of material were excavated from <em>Monitor</em>’s wreck site, all requiring care. Among the historically significant objects recovered are <em>Monitor</em>‘s revolving gun turret, two Dahlgren guns, and its steam propulsion engine. The Museum’s archaeological conservators tackle tons of challenges every day, working with materials ranging all over like iron, copper, wood, rope,  fabric, and rubber.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="h-objects-recovered-from-the-uss-monitor-wreck-site">Objects recovered from the USS <em>Monitor</em> wreck site:</h4> <div style="height:27px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75 is-style-outline is-style-outline--44"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="#turret">Turret</a></div> </div> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75 is-style-outline is-style-outline--45"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="#personal">Personal Effects</a></div> </div> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75 is-style-outline is-style-outline--46"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="#dahlgren">Dahlgren Guns & Carriage</a></div> </div> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-4 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75 is-style-outline is-style-outline--47"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="#machinery">Machinery</a></div> </div> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75 is-style-outline is-style-outline--48"><a class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" href="#skeg">Skeg & Hull</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"><div class="wp-block-image is-style-rounded"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" width="612" height="612" data-attachment-id="7657" data-permalink="https://www.marinersmuseum.org/condenser-2/" data-orig-file="https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Condenser-edited.png" data-orig-size="612,612" data-comments-opened="0" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Condenser" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Condenser-edited-300x300.png" data-large-file="https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Condenser-edited.png" src="https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Condenser-edited.png" alt="" class="wp-image-7657" style="width:362px;height:362px" srcset="https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Condenser-edited.png 612w, https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Condenser-edited-300x300.png 300w, https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Condenser-edited-150x150.png 150w, https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Condenser-edited-386x386.png 386w, https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Condenser-edited-281x281.png 281w, https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Condenser-edited-180x180.png 180w" sizes="(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px" /></figure></div></div> </div> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="block__featured-card alignfull"> <div class="container"> <div class="mariners-card"> <div class="featured-card-text"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-research">Research</h2> <p>Conservation involves looking for answers to lots of questions: What material is an object made of?

as they rushed to escape their sinking ship. Unfortunately, two sailors perished in the turret. Their remains were discovered during excavation. Some of the most relatable artifacts of the <em>Monito</em>r Collection were in these sailors’ pockets – coins, a key, and a pocket knife. A thick wool coat was found nearby but not associated with the two sailors. This coat was recovered in about 150 pieces! After conservation, many of these objects are now on display in the Museum, offering small glimpses into<em> Monitor</em>’s crew members’ lives.</p> <div class="block__featured-list alignfull"> <div

When the ship’s turret was recovered, these 16,000-pound behemoths were still inside! The gun carriages – a unique design allowing the guns to fire from <em>Monitor</em>’s first-of-its-kind rotating turret – were also recovered, along with numerous tools used to clean, load, and fire the guns. The historical significance of these objects is matched only by the complexity of their conservation. These guns required cleaning to remove concretion from inside the bores. Custom equipment was designed and created to clean the largest marine archaeological, smoothbore cast-iron guns ever conserved.</p> <div class="block__featured-list alignfull"> <div class="container"> <div class="upper"> <h2 id="featured-list-nav-heading" class="title"><strong>Dahlgren Guns & Carriage Project Highlights</strong></h2> </div> <div class="mariners-card"> <nav aria-label="<strong>Dahlgren Guns & Carriage Project Highlights</strong>" class="nav-list"> <ul aria-labelledby="featured-list-nav-heading" role="list" id="featured-list-menu" class="menu"> <li> <a href="https://www.marinersmuseum.org/2020/08/rust-never-sleeps/" > <div class="text-wrapper"> <span class="heading heading-style-3">Desalination: Because Rust Never Sleeps</span> </div> <div class="image" role="presentation"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="180" height="157" src="https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/blog_rust-180x157.png" class="attachment-180w size-180w" alt="" sizes="auto, (min-width: 37.5rem) 200px, 110px" srcset="https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/blog_rust-180x157.png 180w, https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/blog_rust-300x261.png 300w, https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/blog_rust-1024x892.png 1024w, https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/blog_rust-768x669.png 768w, https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/blog_rust-805x702.png 805w, https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/blog_rust-620x540.png 620w, https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/blog_rust-386x336.png 386w, https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/blog_rust-281x245.png 281w, https://www.marinersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/blog_rust.png 1292w" /> </div> </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.marinersmuseum.org/2020/04/gun-boring-no-gun-fascinating/" > <div class="text-wrapper"> <span class="heading heading-style-3">Gun Boring?

most complete steamship engine room ever archaeologically raised. This includes John Ericsson’s 20-ton vibrating side-lever-trunked dual steam engine, used to propel the ironclad. The engine’s unique, compact design enabled it to be mounted below the waterline and away from enemy fire. It is the only known example of this type of marine engine in the world! Also from the engine room are two direct-acting Worthington steam-powered water pumps, the oldest surviving Worthington examples. The collection of these artifacts enables us to understand what life would have been like in the engine room, and through conservation, The Mariners’ team can share that experience with the public.</p> <div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3

control lever are stored in seven outdoor tanks affectionately named the “Tank Farm.” These objects are critical to understanding the ship’s construction. Monitor’s skeg is one of the most unique objects stored in the Tank Farm. What’s a skeg, you might ask? It’s the section of the back (stern) of a vessel that stabilizes the rudder and propeller. <em>Monitor</em>’s skeg beam is 25 feet long and weighs 3,800 pounds!  </p> <figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe loading="lazy" title="USS Monitor Skeg Elements Move" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GHcmhN9UIEg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer;

How or why is it degrading? What can we do about it? Research questions help the Conservation team learn more about the artifacts and make wise treatment decisions. We rely on a great team of Museum scientific staff, external partners, and various analytical tools to find the answers. Scientific analysis is invaluable to moving conservation projects ahead.  </p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button
