AB - <jats:p><p>This study compares the chemical integrity of English Oak (Quercus robur) samples with an age range of four centuries by analysing the lignin degradation.The samples were collected from four historic British vessels and thusrepresent samples of diverse ages which have nonetheless experienced similar non-arborealenvironments. We conclude that the Mary Rose, the oldest vessel studied and therecipient of the most intensive conservation efforts, has been well-preserved throughtreatment with PEG, and we present a baseline for assessing whether a ship hasbeen biologically degraded.</p><p><br></p><p>The work combines quantitative analytic chemistry techniques (e.g., THM-GC-MS) with the conservation of large historic artifacts.</p></jats:p>
