Historic ships often become iconic symbols, both to the local community and the wider world. They are powerful representatives of by-gone eras and a way of life that is both fascinating and remote to most people. The Vasa in Stockholm and the Pommern in Mariehamn are two examples of that.
Beautiful as they are, historic vessels are also notoriously difficult and expensive to maintain. This conference aims to bring together people with a shared interest in the preservation of historic vessels and to discuss various approaches and aspects of managing historic ships, focusing on the problem of corrosion.
