They are huge, not sure all of what was made here, but the nearby Watervliet Arsenal made large gun barrels for the U.S. Navy. They were famous for the manufacturing of the 16" barrel. See the attached link, they have some displays on the premises. I am very familiar with this place, having made deliveries there for 4 years. We supplied all the lumber to stock their internal lumber yard for the dunnage, crating/packing of guns being manufactured. I've been in most of the manufacturing buildings in this arsenal, its an amazing place. Always made me worry because I am sure its a high profile target, maybe more so in recent times, it survived attempts to have it closed.

At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
