context_page_description: The Shipwreck Conservation Centre is a branch of the National Maritime Museum in Gdańsk, opened in 2016 in a specially designed building in Tczew, near the Vistula River Museum.
  The museum consists of two main parts: the conservation workshop and the studio warehouse, which complement each other.
context_section_description: The workshop is fitted with modern equipment and is used to conduct the conservation and reconstruction of recovered fragments of ships and other objects. The workshop is divided into smaller work areas including a steel workshop, a boat building and carpentry workshop; RTG and scanning equipment and a spectrometer used for examining the composition of metal fragments.
  Wood recovered from underwater by archeologists is conserved in a special tank system, where it can be immersed in special solutions. Cleaning objects made of metal is accomplished using specialised cleaner machines. Heavy elements are moved with a gantry crane capable of lifting up to 5 tons.
  The workshop is a large warehouse, without inner walls. The mezzanine allows visitors to see the restoration works in progress and observe each stage of conservation and reconstruction.
