A short video showing staff members at the Hampton Roads Naval Museum clapping after a large Vietnamese Sampan is successfully lifted into its exhibit space in their gallery. The sampan was captured in 1968 by US Navy Riverine units operating in Vietnam during Operation Flankspeed. The sampan was stored at the Naval History and Heritage Commands Collections Management Facility in Richmond, Virginia; and the large artifact was carefully cleaned and stabilized before it was transported to the museum. The sampan is part of a larger exhibit, “The Ten Thousand Day War at Sea: the US Navy in Vietnam, 1950-1975.” The new immersive exhibit, encompassing over 4,700 square feet of gallery space, is scheduled to open to the public on October 9, 2019.
