Capn Bob Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 The ship in question is La Belle, which went down to Davy Jones in 1686, Matagorda Bay. In an attempt to effect preservation, the boffins came up with... Freeze Drying. Thats right, the same process from which you get "Space Ice Cream" How to Freeze Dry a Ship Damn, thats sharp!

Zingara Carmella Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Wow that is awesome... now the silly question, who came up.... "What we going to do with the ship? " "I know Bob (sorry it has to be Bob) how about we freeze dry it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) Very "cool" idea. This is one of LaSalle's ships from his failed attempt to establish a colony at the mouth of the Mississippi. good stuff. I have long wanted to reproduce a pike head recovered from that wreck. I lost all my reseach on pikes a couple years ago though. This is a great site to view the salvage and artifacts. You can see the pike I want to make on the main page, lower right edge. http://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/belle/index.html Bo Edited September 2, 2010 by Capt. Bo of the WTF co.

AlexRoberts Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 This is a very nice idea but what happens if they stop? Piracy is freedom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 ahoy cap'n bob, at bo's request, I pinned his topic on La Belle. Both are a new thread and I'd like to see this one build independently. Eventually when the thread has been idle for a bit, would it be OK with you if I moved it to the pinned topic to keep La Belle related items together. This is a practice I've been doing for a while with Whydah and QAR to keep the info together and somewhat consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
