reference - The Steamboat Bertrand History & Excavation

NOTICE

********NOW OPERATING FROM OUR NEW HEADQUARTERS ********



Now fully operational from the beautiful Pacific North West, we encourage all to keep a close eye as we unpack posted offerings and continue what will be an ongoing effort of unpacking the collection while taking stock with an eye toward thinning out our accumulation of treasures. After years of seeking out and acquiring all manner of quality antique Americana from simple but seldom surviving items of special interest to historically important treasures, Janet and I look forward to offering the fruits of our years of seeking out such to new and appreciative homes.


Visitors will also enjoy our museum site at www.MaineLegacy.com

Originally published in 1974 this National Park Service, 177 page, now out of print, soft cover is in like new condition. A duplicate from our own library, it offers a history of the Steamboat Bertrand its excavation and of most interest to collector / historians of the gold rush era American West, an overview of recovered cargo with much technical information on general procedures used in the restoration and preservation of artifacts. Reflective of the wide range of personal use cargo of the Bertrand restoration and preservation techniques utilized by specialists address several categories of artifacts to include, textiles, wood, ferrous & nonferrous metals, copper, brass, lead, pewter, tin, silver, Britannia, bottles, glass, iron stone & porcelain, leather, paper & documents and more. On the personal side, if not familiar with the Bertrand, and the vast array of personal item cargo, much of which is now on museum display at the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge, located near Missouri Valley, Iowa, a google search for the museum collection will provide insight and a personal visit will blow you away. Buy with confidence! We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales! Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly. Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques!
