Another mystery solved!10/10/2018 AuthorWritten by Norman Cramp, Director of the Darwin Military Museum.  A drum-type depth charge, similar to the one donated to DMM being loaded onto a British warship during WW2. In early August 2018, a friend of the Museum dropped in with a strange metal object that he thought had some military connection, although he couldn’t explain why as he did not know what the object was, or used to be used for. The Museum’s Curators took on the challenge by starting the research process, although there was a reasonably firm view as to what the items had been.
