Propeller from a Sunderland built ship...

[Linus]

On display in New Jersey.
My mate was going for a stroll with his kids yesterday & came across it and sent some photos...
Can't find any info on the ship, or anything else about it for that matter, if someone fancies looking into it.

Edit: Maybe just the propeller built in Sunderland? Can't find anything on it....

They were a propeller company. So yes, it would be just the propeller built by them but without a name for the ship it's going to be impossible to say where that was built.

Had a google and came across some information about the Wawn propeller company on here:

The amount of ship wrecks in the Red Sea that were built in Sunderland always makes me smile when I go diving.

One of the best known wrecks in the world, and best dive sites was a Mackem Built ship. Brilliant dive.
