Set of cast iron gears formerly used to operate the marine railway at M.M. Davis and Son shipyard on Mill Creek, Solomons, Maryland: The gears were originally powered by steam and later converted to electricity. A heavy chain connected to a cradle that ran on inclined rails. In this fashion, boats could be hauled out of the water for repair and maintenance. The gears were acquired by Calvert Marine Museum in the 1970's after the shipyard closed, and re-erected in 1991.
