I agree, It’s very much like, (Many years ago) when a case of restoration went as high as it could go in a Civvi Court, inasmuch as a very rare, and expensive car had been restored, but from only the bare minimum of original parts, the Judge, had to decide, just what percentage of the original car was used in the restoration, as to be classed as “The original”.
In keeping with that, the same can be said for much of the woodwork of HMS Victory, as nearly all the original wood has been replaced. The time I went on her, they were caulking, “The Devils Line” and for some reason or tother, I was told not to photograph this particular operation, but was never told why not.
Navy superstition?.
