Cultural Heritage Conservation focuses on the preservation of physical objects from human history, ensuring that the stories, concepts, and traditions associated with them will live on so that future generations can continue to learn from them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From ships to books, furniture, garments, and artwork, the Conservation team within the Batten Conservation Complex is dedicated to examining, documenting, treating, and preserving these historical records of our shared maritime heritage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Object Conservation <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Object conservation is the preservation of 3-dimensional works of art and items with decorative and functional purposes. Objects that we preserve in The Mariners\u2019 Museum Collection can be from any time in human history and any place on earth. They can be made of various materials from cloth to plastic to metal. Conservators at the Museum have treated objects as small as the needles in a Sail Maker’s Sewing Kit up to monumental outdoor stone statues like Conquering the Wild. Object conservators also treat full-sized watercraft like La Isabel<\/em>, one of the first boats in the Museum’s Collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
