Marine Artifacts

One of our projects was the conservation of artifacts, recovered from the RMS Titanic. While conserving the RMS Titanic artifacts, we had the pleasure of working with the Smithsonian Institute for the analysis of organic materials found in and around the artifacts.

Presently, our recent accomplishments are on display at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry and the Baltimore Museum of Science. Our professional team led by Gordon Ponsford, has developed our own state of the art desalinization lab.

We are capable of maintaining the process of marine conservation from the moment the artifacts leave the ocean. The processes include on-site assessment of recovered artifacts, desalinization, and stabilization.

Furthermore, we are available to curate collections once they leave our conservation labs. This "start to finish" approach means that our clients can be certain that all aspects of the conservation are carried out with dedication, professionalism, and a strict adherence to true conservation methods.

The abundance of marine artifacts ensures that there will always be a need and a desire to recover, preserve, study, and display these historical treasures. Our first class approach to marine conservation makes us the best choice for restoring any maritime archeological objects, at any location, as well as maintaining collections of artifacts.

Ponsford Ltd. is dedicated to conserving marine artifacts from all over the globe.

Our conservation projects range from the large scale, such as the Titanic, to the individual treasure collector combing the beaches of the Florida Keys with a metal detector, and everything in between. To this end, we have put together a multidisciplinary team comprising the best minds from the fields of metal conservation, engineering and archeology.

At Ponsford Ltd, we utilize the most advanced methods of conservation available in the private and corporate markets. Our focus is conserving the historical quality and character of collected artifacts, and preserving them for scientific study, museum, and private collections.
