Part 6/8:
Handling Heavy Naval Artifacts and Future Projects
The discussion also touches on the difficulty of handling the heaviest relics. The speaker references using a chain block to move cannons and other large items, emphasizing the labor-intensive nature of the work. They mention plans to consolidate parts like vintage cannons and barrels for better storage and display.
Particularly, they focus on storing barrels from military antiques—original, unused pieces believed to be from international military sources. Some of these barrels still have their original grease and firing mechanisms, adding to their historical authenticity. The goal is to assemble a section dedicated to naval artillery, possibly recreating a battle bridge setup for educational or display purposes.
