salvage: 'wrecks into art'

The world's most important archive of original shipwreck photographs has been saved for the nation by the National Maritime Museum.
Virtually all 1700 mainly 19th and early 20th century glass plate negatives, conventional film  negatives and silver print positive photographs were taken  by successive generations of a family of photographers based on the Isles of Scilly. (source)
