Would the pool be better than the salt water

I would avoid exposing it to chlorine!!!

Once the relic has been stabilized, any rust can be removed with a wire brush or electrolysis maybe a better choice, the main thing now is to get the salt out of the relic!!!

Also this is an iron piece so it has already started to rust. Does anybody know what to do to clean it and what would u put on it to preserve it after the clean

It should be soaking in fresh water now to remove the salts. The iron will crumble in air. . Keep changing the water..

 

[diverjon123]

Just put it in fresh water

Thanks you everyone for the help

I just read AU seekers great advice. Fresh water- rain, well or distilled NOT swimming pool.

After months of soaking maybe electrolysis can be used to stabilize the iron

I found mention of HN Stone and an 1856 patent on the Jamestown grounding. Scroll down to At the stranding location in 1881 Leo's Website: Jamestown stranding in English


So far I am unable to find the patents or the meaning of the date 1864.

He estimates the size of Jamestown to be 1200 tons and mentioned that the mizzenmast had been cut away close to the deck and that there had been axe marks on the mainmast. The rudder with all its attachments was missing and most of the ship's rigging hung over the side and was in poor condition. The report continues telling that on the bow it had been possible to read the name Jamsetown and in smaller, almost obliterated letters, "Boston, Mass". On a brass plate over the cabin was the name Jamestown again and on one of the three windlasses found was the inscription "Improved, 1869, H.W. Stone" and on another "Edison's patent, Aug. 21st. 1856, H.N. Stone, Boston".

I am not able to find much information of H.N. Stone of Boston.

I am having the same issue. Doesn't look like there is a lot of information

if it is from a ship, maybe this list, of sunken ships in fl, can help you narrow it down
