Unidentified Darling Harbour Boat 1 – Managing the Digital Journey | Rampe & Wharton | CAAA2025

Establishing photogrammetry in practice at Auckland Museum Michael Rampe, Benjamin Wharton In 2018, when excavating waterfront land for the new Sydney Metro station, an unexpected assemblage of timber planking was uncovered. The timbers belonged to the wreck of an early Australian-built vessel, which at the time, was a rare, if not unique find in Australia. As is usual with modern finds such as these, detailed digital records were created along with the preservation journey. When the find was removed piece by piece from the ground, georeferenced site photogrammetry scans were done for documentation. As the timbers first entered treatment in 2020, they were digitised with structured light meticulously to create a full record of the individual timbers and again in 2022, photogrammetry and further structured light was used on a few small tricky items. In 2024, after the curing process was complete, key timbers were scanned again to allow for morphometric analysis on timber warping and shrinking during the process. Now, in 2025, as the timbers are cured and await their next step, the journey continues with a full digital audit to reprocess and adapt the digital material built over 7 years which is resulting in a full digital catalogue of timbers as well as a 1:5 3D printing endeavour to assist with the careful process of reconstruction. This paper will provide an overview of these components and some of the challenges in managing this significant data set developed including commentary on the closing gap of data legacy with the speed of technology improvement.
