Freight Museum- Mal
During the tour of the freight museum in Antwerp, Belgium, I learned about the developments in ships to allow for trade and exploration. Specifically, there was one exhibit that showed a smaller to scale ship that was found when digging in soil in Belgium. This ship was taken a part to protect and preserve the wood and is now slowly being put back together. The current model at the museum is really cool because it is identical to the larger ship found in the mud, but is a smaller model that was 3-D printed! I think that was my favorite ship in the exhibit.

I think this is a good example of how modern and historic technology can work together. I believe we will see 3D printing in archeology and other areas of historic science in the future.
