Hey Steve, man did we have fun.
The launcher itself is a single piece of pre World War 1 brass. About 8 feet long
It weighs about 220 pounds, but sure seemed a heck of a lot heavier as I was pulling it from the bottom of a huge debris pile. Then there was the problem of getting it onto the boat !
Yes, it will on display at the scuba show, as well as the helm, the ship's bell, and all the other stuff recovered this year. Its been a good year so far, and its only April !!!
Looking forward to another local wreck trip in May.
