Wool Coat

By Staff Writer

Posted on August 12, 2009November 27, 2015


Elsa and Laura are treating fragments of a wool coat recovered from the turret. The coat would be similar to a 4-button pilot coat, and was made of dark blue felted wool.

Below, Elsa is pointing out a button hole and a pocket opening in the coat. Even after 140 years on the sea-floor, some of the stitching survives!
