When USC archeologists decided to
preserve a 17th century merchant ship
through chemical means, they certainly
didn't expect their modern soaking tank to
fall apart before the ancient sea vessel.
USC spent $300,000 in state and federal
money to construct what one professor dubbed
"the world's largest bathtub," designed
to hold the ship while it was soaked in a waxy
chemical solution.
But the state Commission on Higher
Education learned that the preservation process
has encountered a problem ? "the
world's largest bathtub" has sprung several
lcaiv.^.
The ship, known as the Brown's Ferrv
Vessel, was recovered about seven vears ago
from the Black River in Georgetown County,
said USC archeologist Alan Albright.

suspend the boat underwater in the tank and
slowly drain the water as the chemical solution,
polyethelene glycol, was added.
A report submitted to the commission said
"settling and thermal expansion" caused a
fiberglass tank liner to crack several months
later.
The commission heard USC's request for
$50,000 to install a new stainless steel liner in
the tank, a move universitv engineers think
will solve the problem.
CHE approved the expenditure Thursday,
hut not without some tough questions from
chairman Fred Sheheen about the project's
value during a university budget crunch.
Albright said despite the delay, he expects
to beein the soaking process by late fall.
Once the ship is treated, it will be displayed
in a Georgetown museum, and the tank can
be used again for other antique craft found
in South Carolina, he said.
