Hi Guys

I was in Columbus last summer and had the opportunity to stop again to see the museum. It is a fantastic place if you like ACW naval stuff and I think alot of you guys do from the traffic here. So I'm going to post my photos and hope that others will post photos that they may have as well. I enjoyed the cannon tubes that were recently posted and have been trying to decide if one is a triple banded Brooke or a Blakely. If its a Brooke would that make it one that so punished the US fleet off Charleston?
Ok, on to photos from the museum. Oh yeah they have a working 2 banded Brooke on a ship carriage outside that they fire i think on weekends and special occasions. My future son-in-law is a BM in the Navy and we're going to take him to it next summer.

Thanks for the photos. It's hard to appreciate the sheer size of the recovered ironclads from just the photos. I have forgotten which ones they have at the museum, but they are HUGE! It's one of those must see museums.
