Browns Ferry Vessel

The United States has seen no major recoveries of historic ships. The 47-foot-long Browns Ferry Vessel, an 18th-century coasting vessel recovered from South Carolina waters, is currently undergoing conservation by immersion in polyethylene glycol (PEG) (8). The USS Monitor, the Civil War Ironclad, has its own National Marine Sanctuary off the Atlantic Coast. The Monitor has become the focus of international attention both for her role in the American Civil War and for the conservation problems presented by her construction of both iron and wooden components.
