Description

Accession: 2010-25-1 Lamp, Conch, Decorative, USS Enhance Dimensions: 10"H, 6.75" W, 8.75"D

A recent acquisition to the collection, the conch lamp is a good example of sailor ephemera or souvenir. The conch shell appears to have been modified to sit on top of a glass jar. The painting on the shell is of the USS Enhance MSO 437, an Ocean Minesweeper. USS Enhance was commissioned in April 1955 and decommissioned in December 1991.
