Good afternoon,

They are lovely jugs, but I am wondering why they have them out of sea water, will they not degrade very quickly?

[douglas9401]

Ewer guess is as good as mine.

Hmmm. They might not fit in our kitchen cupboard.

A senior Tory has claimed that they belonged to his ancestor and can provide written proof, in Biro on a McDonalds napkin. 😄

I love finds like this. Imagine being the first person to see these artefacts after hundreds of years. Amazing.

I think it is wooden and iron artifacts degrade quickly when removed from Seawater. Glazed pottery and non ferous metals do not require such a careful intro to oxygenated air and sunlight.

Yep, remember the Mary Rose.

The salvage teams and restorers will still have to urn their corn mind.

they've been well preserved by lying in holy water off the holy land, naturally.
