The first order of business was to store the hull components until the timbers could be cleaned and documentated. The Belle was stored in a 'sea of vats' on the edge of a World War II runway in front of the Conservation Research Laboratory - Projects Facility. The laboratory occupies the former firehouse of the Bryan Air Force Base. The base is now a research facility of Texas A&M University called Riverside Campus.
