Kate Morrand, Underwater Archeology Senior Conservator and Laboratory Manager at Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), prepares an M1 Garand rifle for transport to the National Museum of the Marine Corps (NMMC) in the NHHC Underwater Archeology and Conservation Laboratory. The M1 Garand was used by U.S. Marines Corps Raiders during the World War II attack on Japanese military forces on Makin Island and was submerged in a wet marine environment for over 50 years before being recovered. Due to the rifle’s significant physical damage, NHHC’s Underwater Archaeology branch received the rifle in 2016 to carefully treat and conserve the rifle.
