Norstrom Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 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 thatsome 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!Norstrom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norstrom Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norstrom Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 the same book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh kitchen Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norstrom Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
