A propeller uses the principle of the screw to convert rotational motion into forward thrust to power a boat or ship in the water. This propeller was manufactured in 1895, and installed on the 135 foot tug Sea King. The tug reported for war in 1917 at Havre de Grace to have its steam boiler replaced, but the war ended before work was completed. There, it was abandoned and sank. In 1953, George Pensell cleared the wreck to build the Tidewater Marina. He salvaged the propeller and shaft and later donated them to the museum.| HM Number | HM2JUR |
