Nelson's Trafalgar uniform conservation update

[anteros_lmc]

The National Maritime Museum has posted a couple of short updates on the conservation of Nelson's Trafalgar uniform coat, covering the attachment of the silk lining and the removal of Nelson's orders.

* Reattaching the silk lining
* Stitching and orders

This little video showing the removal of the orders is particularly fascinating as you get to see the orders themselves close up along with the hole from the bullet that killed Nelson. Although I must say I though the jaunty music at the end of the video is rather inappropriate given that the conservator has just been pointing out the bullet hole and the bloodstains from the fatal wound!
