The Mariners' Museum is located in Newport News, Virginia. Designated as America’s National Maritime Museum by Congress, it is one of the largest maritime museums in North America.
The museum was founded in 1930 by Archer Milton Huntington, son of Collis P. Huntington, a railroad builder who brought the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway to Warwick County, Virginia and who founded the City of Newport News, its coal export facilities, and Newport News Shipbuilding in the late 19th century.
The Mariners' Museum is home to the USS Monitor Center. In 1973, the wreck of the ironclad USS Monitor, made famous in the Battle of Hampton Roads in 1862, during the American Civil War, was located on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean about 16 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The wreck site was designated as the United States' first national marine sanctuary. Monitor Sanctuary is the only one of the thirteen national marine sanctuaries created to protect a cultural resource, rather than a natural resource or a mix of natural and cultural resources.
The Monitor National Marine Sanctuary is now under the supervision of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Many artifacts from Monitor, including her innovative turret, propeller, anchor, engine and some personal effects of the crew, have been brought to the museum. For several years, they were conserved in special tanks to stabilize the metal. The new USS Monitor Center officially opened on March 9, 2007, and a full-scale replica of the Monitor, the original recovered turret, and many artifacts and related items are now on display. Current efforts are focused on restoring the engine.
Hamilton Standard counterweight propeller
Oil pressure in the pitch-changing mechanism helps move the blades to a lower angle, while the counterweights help move the blades to a higher angle.

This is the sixth in a series of variations on Chris Palmer's Flower Tower. It was made using the decreeping technique devised by Jeremy Shafer and Chris Palmer.
Folded from 8.5 inch (22cm) square printer paper, no cuts.
Detail of the propeller, which could be disconnected and folded up when driving on land.
This unique amphibious scout vehicle was used by the Wehrmacht during World War II. Apart from its "hull," it shared many of the essential features of early Volkswagen air-cooled vehicles.

1) Hinged-Blade Research Propeller
This ten-foot experimental propeller was ground-tested at McCook Field for the US Navy. Built by Paragon Engineers Inc., it was designed with hinged blades to permit it to adapt to changes in air pressure.
2) Micarta Controllable Pitch Propeller
This nine-foot propeller has "Bakelite Micarta" blades counterbalanced to permit their pitch to be changed in flight. Designed by McCook Field engineers for testing with the Wright-built 180-hp Hispano-Suiza engine, it was tested in 1922 at McCook field, but was not successful.
3) Olmstead High Efficiency Propeller
This unusual 9-foot propeller was designed in 1918 by Olmstead Laboratories and tested at McCook Field. It was intended for possible use on the Loening M-8 aircraft before the Air Service decided not to order the M-8 into production.
4) Curtiss Reed Propeller
Produced in the mid-1920s, this ten-foot aluminum alloy propeller was unique because its blades were mechanically twisted during manufacture to provide the necessary angle for thrust. PW-8 aircraft with Curtiss D-12 engines used this kind of propeller.
This beautiful B-26 (A20) rests at the VFW in El Reno, OK. Here's what the writing on the side of the plane says:
B-26 (A20)
Use donated by the U.S. Government and Oklahoma Air National Guard
Transported from Sheppard Field, Texas by members of V.F.W. Post #382 - El Reno, Ok
Assembled on location by J.L. Barry, Bill Barry, and Woody Henson
Dedicated Sept. 21, 1957

(L-1892): The PRT’s size is clearly evident in this classic photograph of Elton W. Miller, one of the PRT’s designers, standing in the tunnel’s entrance cone to inspect a Sperry M-1, the first airplane tested in the new facility. Note how the plane’s wings have been cropped, a practice that was soon seen as unnecessary and largely abandoned.
