It’s no secret that our Conservation team might have the coolest jobs at The Mariners’

Yesterday, we moved USS Monitor’s skeg elements out of their treatment tanks and over to our tank farm where they will undergo dry-ice cleaning. These elements from the ironclad are from the back of the ship and mostly comprised of hull fragments, bulkhead plates, the skeg beam, and the Y-bracket.

You can see our team working with Hampton Roads Crane and Rigging to lift the objects, place them securely on the truck bed, and then re-lift them to their new temporary homes where they await cleaning!
