Machinist - Welcome to the gun show 1917 Jigsaw Puzzle
Colourized photo from 1917
Original Title: Navy Yard Torpedo Shop
Location: Washington DC
This is the Navy Yard shop in Washington DC, built in 1799 (though this structure was probably built later). Over the years they have built all kinds of things. Special cannons, torpedo's, steam ships, and so on.
During World War I they are built torpedo launchers (which is what we see here).
A torpedo launcher is a tube that holds a torpedo, mounted to a battleship, but it works just like a normal torpedo once it hits the water. This factory makes both things, but this room just does the tubes.
By World War II, this location was the largest ordinance plant in the world.
By 1960 they had 188 buildings, across 126 acres. For the most part, just the guns and torpedo's were made here.
But by 1961 they closed this place down, and by 1964 they turned most of the buildings into office space.
Bonus: Can you find these items?
A single shoe on a shelf
A guy wearing a fez (hint his back is turned to us)
There is a tomato can high up.
There is also a large saw blade.

Great little puzzle that offers a challenge. Nice way to de-stress during this pandemic. Sharp, vivid colors make the puzzle attractive and eye popping!

The picture quality is fantastic on these puzzles. They have a high gloss finish and look fantastic. My only complaint is that there is a lot of movement with the pieces compared to regular cardboard pieces. Once compelted there is still a lot of play and pieces can move out of place. The puzzle says 8x10 But was about 1/4, 1/8 shorter on either end. Yes there are some concerns but I would definitely order another puzzle. Print and finish were great
