I am surprised to see that the woolen items held up so well under the sea...

Hello there!

Clothes and papers of all kind in salt water looks very bad when you find it. Some of them are of course in very bad condition and it looks like that

some worms have eaten on them. But if one are gentle with the items one can have a nice peace of war history after wash and cleanliness.

Especially papers can after it has slowly dried be as good as new. I.e. ink and text from lead pencils lokks perfect. I will take a photo of some

KM-documents and add to this side.

all the best to you guys!

Hi gents! Here is a nice book wich has been in water for 50 years. It deal with music history. Nothing special but it belonged to

Tirpitz.

[Norstrom]

the same book!

[Gordon Williamson]

Astonishing that paper items have survived immersion in sea water for so long.

I seem to recall a Norwegian firm selling small pieces of armour plate from Tirpitz, mounted on a wooden base, as desk ornaments. Given the size of Tirpitz I don't suppose they'd run out of metal too soon..

[leigh kitchen]

I read a while ago on a website that the highway authorities in Denmark are still using armour plates from the Tirpitz for temporary road repairs.

[Norstrom]

Yes, It?s the same in Sweden and especially in Stockholm. There they still using thick armour plates from Tirpitz to cover temporary repairs in the

roads. Some of the plates are 3 cm thick.

In Tromsoe, where Tirpitz sank, there is a school still having Tirpitz turbines driven something!
