Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
During the 1960s, an important find of a group of Viking ships occasioned the building of a new conservation plant of large proportions. This, coupled with a dissatisfaction with previous conservation methods led to the adoption of new methods for caring for waterlogged wooden remains. The methodologies developed are described in this book. English, with Danish Resume.
