Shovel Blade

The shovel blade was found concreted to the cannon and was recovered in the conservation lab. At the time that this blade was recovered, two more shovel blades were visible in the concretion mass, though not yet excavated. The blade is made of iron and has a socket where a wooden handle would have fit. This shovel blade is similar to those recovered from the Revolutionary War ship Philadelphia.
