A major aspect of that work is to stabilise the wrought iron hull and protect it from the ravages of further corrosion. The most innovative part of that work consists of constructing a sealed glass plate around the waterline of the ship to form a giant airtight chamber surrounding the ship’s lower hull.
Beneath the water surface - separated by a glass plate - moisture is removed from using a specially designed air-handling unit operated 24 hours per day, 7 days per week by VLT® 6000
