PREPARATION OF THE ORANJESTAD'S PROPELLER |
| FOR MUSEUM'S DEDICATION |
| This museum is slated to be dedicated some time in February of 2012. In preparation for this dedication the Oranjestad Committee is cleaning the propeller and preparing a temporary placard explaining the significance of the propeller and the ultimate goal of having it incorporated into a monument to those who lost their lives in Aruba during World War II. The following are photos of this work as it is being carried out. |
