Hey people,
Dived in the harbor yesterday, to so some research/recovery on a sunken blackbirding/cargo vessel which I discovered a while back. So far I haven't recovered many interesting artifacts, apart from bronze nails, copper sheathing, an ink bottle from that period (1890-1900), and a "Leed" lemonade can from the 70s (in some way an ancestor to Sprite).
Getting back to the recent discovery however...
The obvious answer would be a "lathe tool post" wrench. I just found out about those, and would love to know if this particular tool was indeed used in the late 19th century aboard ships, or if the tool might have been dropped into the water decades after my shipwreck sank.
Or if this isn't a wrench at all, but something else...
It was quite tainted and blackened when I found it, obviously under water for some time... It's made from yellow brass, and a corresponding weight.. Notice the "7" on the lower handle.
Thanks heaps, guys.
