An investigation into the condition and conservation of the hull of the Mary Rose . Part I: Assessment of the hull timbers

Abstract

An assessment of the condition of waterlogged wood is an important requirement in determining the most appropriate method for its conservation. The assessment of material from the hull of the Mary Rose using a number of analytical techniques is discussed. These include moisture content, ash content, chemical analysis, and the use of a Pilodyn—an impact· density wood test instrument. The timbers show considerable variation in the extent of decay but consist, in general, of a soft deteriorated outer layer of variable thickness surrounding a firm, less deteriorated core.
