The two photos above are showing the Ammo Passage on the third deck. Click on them to see a larger Image. As you can see from the drawing above the rooms that show as "crew space" have been converted into archive storage.  The compartment that is B-102 is the "Main Radio Room". See photos below.

    

If you take the Hard Hat Tour you will be able to see this area of the ship.

The Deck Restoration is completed. Below are two photos just after we finished painting the deck.

But there was a great deal of sanding and needle gunning prior to painting the deck.

I'd like to thank the ship's staff Mr. Barry Ward, John Ferguson and George Templin for there assistance and support as well as the First Texas Volunteers that took part in working on this project. I would like to thank the Battleship Texas Foundation for there continued financial support on restoration projects like this one.

 It makes this passageway look ten times better than before not to mention the protection this now gives the deck from corrosion and further damage.
