Third International Conference on the Technical Aspects of the Preservation of Historic VesselsConference ProceedingsTable of ContentsIntroductionThe Third International Conference on the Technical Aspects of the Preservation of Historic Vessels convened in San Francisco, California on April 20-23, 1997. The goals of the conference were: to establish a forum where technical issues could be discussed both in traditional formal presentations from experts in respective fields and in informal round table discussions where information could be discussed in detail; and to continue the network of communication already begun between historic ship preservationists from around the world.The list of participants included representatives from historic ships and preservation professionals from around the world, and provided a unique opportunity to share information. We encouraged discussions of both the triumphs and the failures of preservation techniques in use so that the ship preservation community as a whole could learn and avoid reinventing the wheel with each project. Topics included: wood and steel hulls, cathodic protection systems, material sources, interpretation and educational programs, traditional rigging techniques, coating systems, storing and disposal of hazardous materials, and special problems associated with operational ships and those in dry berths. The conference was hosted by the National Maritime Museum Association and San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. These proceedings are dedicated to Russell Booth, Co-chair of the conference who died 15 June 1997. Under his stewardship, USS Pampanito has become recognized as a leader in historic ship restoration and preservation. His legacy includes not only Pampanito, but also the many other ships his leadership has inspired. More about Russ. All the papers presented in this web site have been modified to World Wide Web (html) format by USS Pampanito crew. In addition, many were provided as paper copies and required a scanning and optical character recognition process that introduces errors. Finally, limitations in standard World Wide Web format (html) format and the time required to do the formatting in many cases makes the papers graphically less interesting than the submitted paper. Illustrations have been reduced in size and resolution to enable reasonable download times with 1997 industry standard modems. We apologize for any errors that we have introduced to the authors work in this process. Richard Pekelney, Co-chair
