The Mary Rose in Portsmouth, UK is kept in a giant container and sprayed with sea water to maintain the same conditions as when it was under the Solent. They raised it after a comparable amount of time underwater.
Edit:

Apparently they dried it out in a controlled way between 2013-2016, but it was sprayed with water and then special chemicals for a while.
Oh nice I didn't realised they'd gotten rid of the glass container now, I might have to go see it again
