“During the expedition, which ends this week, the team are also fixing experimental zinc anodes to any large metal items they are not yet able to recover, including cannons.

The devices will conserve the artefacts before they can be brought to the surface by slowing, and possibly even reversing, the process of corrosion.”

Of all the fantastic ways in which stories of piracy on the high seas stretch the imagination, this bit about the “corrosion-reversing anode” takes the cake!

Experimental zinc anodes? These so called scientists must have majored in women's and black studies... they certainly do not know maritime or marine history.
