Texas A M researchers plan a monumental freeze drying of the 1684 La Belle wreck found in Matagorda Bay to remove three centuries of moisture. The 40 by 8 foot machine will dehydrate hundreds of oak and pine timbers, enabling a 54%4 foot reconstruction for the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin.
