The Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) holds a collection of valuable artifacts, each one containing a unique chapter of U.S. naval history. In August, NHHC contacted Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division in West Bethesda, Maryland, to support 3D scanning of USS Saginaw’s surviving gig, which is a small whaling boat generally used as the captain’s taxi.
