CLEANING, SANDBLASTING AND PAINTING THE ANCHOR |
|
RECOVERED OFF EAGLE BEACH |
| Immediately after being lifted from the water the anchor was taken to the sandblast company owned by Mr. Ven Eman, Andre Loonstra's brother-in-law to be cleaned, sandblasted and painted so it would be ready to be placed in the Marine Camp, Savaneta, as a monument in honor of the four members of the Dutch demolition team who came from Curacao to disarm the German torpedo that ended up on Eagle Beach. |
