CONSERVING THE HULL OF THE BELLE

LA SALLE SHIPWRECK PROJECT, 
TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION


PHOTO GALLERY 14: FALL 2001

The reassembly of the hull of La Belle is virtually complete!

View of the reconstructed hull. Only a few minor timbers still need to be added.

Aerial view of the reconstructed hull.

Webcam Update: In order to protect the ship during the conservation phase, we have built a protective cover over the treatment pool. While necessary, this has unfortunately obscured the camera's view of the ship. Therefore, the camera will be moved to document ongoing conservation of two coal cars from a mine in Jewett, Texas.

The roof was constructed from a modified greenhouse kit.
