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.

I got this image in 110 pieces as I cannot commit to large puzzles. This one took me about an hour and was fairly easy. Perhaps 252 pieces would have better suited me for a little more complexity. This is not my favourite sugar skull as I prefer more girly colours like hot pink, reds and purples but I enjoyed doing this one. There is a lot of detail in the image and it was interesting to do. I don't think I will buy the larger puzzle count just because there are other sugar skull images that I much prefer.
Again very good quality puzzle and durable storage box that fits very well on small bookcase. The image was well positioned on this one so who ever printed this one got it pretty bang on.

I bought this image in 110 pieces because I like puzzles I can complete in a few hours. This one took me about 1.5 hours. It was surprisingly challenging in that in the nebular section of the image the pieces were difficult to orientate. It was difficult to gauge which pieces were right without trying them and sometimes I thought certain pieces wouldn't fit and they did. It must be the way the image is made up that it tricks the eye. I definitely found it harder than I thought it would be so yes it's a challenge.
As always very good quality puzzle in a very durable box that stores really well on my small bookcase. The image was well orientated on the puzzle so I would say the printer got this one pretty bang on. Very good quality image.

We are pleased with the jigsaw itself. However we are disappointed the box is far bigger than the jigsaw and not the kind of storage box we expected i.e. Ravensburger standard; rather it's a postage box and not very sturdy at that. Given it cost £18 + pp we did expect more. The image quality is good.
The pieces are rather thin and flimsy.
