These bolts once fastened the ship's watersheds to the turret. Each bolt has been mounted to a piece of the ship's pine deck, which may have knots, small cracks, and other blemishes. An official certificate of authenticity will be included. Each stand varies in size, and the picture may not accurately represent the stand you receive.
Turret watersheds acted as rain guards, preventing the weather from entering in between the turret and barbette.
Bolts are original to the ship's turrets.
The stand is made from deck wood placed on the ship in 1990.
