Carderock Helps Preserve Century Old Artifacts with 3D Scanning Capabilities
USS Saginaw’s surviving gig on a stand at Nava History and Heritage Command with a Faro 3D S70 3D scanner. The white spheres surrounding the hull are known, common points that help align separate scans to one another. 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 NHHC’s collection management facility in Richmond, Virginia. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division engineers supported a 3D-scanning mission of the gig to commemorate the 150th anniversary of its voyage.
