West Bethesda, MD - Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division engineers Ryan Fisher (bottom) and Ryan Evanko (top) use a FARO Arm 3D scanner to capture names carved into USS Saginaw’s surviving gig’s wooden hatch coamings. Saginaw was an active ship during the American Civil War, but was grounded after striking an outlying reef near Midway Island in 1870, 150 years ago. The ship’s surviving gig is housed at Naval History and Heritage Command’s collection management facility in Richmond, Virginia. Carderock engineers supported a 3D-scanning mission of the gig to commemorate the 150th anniversary of its voyage.
