Busy making casks for navy. Naval ships have many uses for casks

Busy making casks for navy. Naval ships have many uses for casks and Albert Pearcey a 63 year old cooper of Rotherhithe, whose father and grandfather practised the craft is busy converting big wine casks into handy containers. The oak staves of old pipes, hogsheads, octaves, puncheons, are dressed and edged with 5 ft. planes. The staves are assembled, and the heat from a fire kindled insido bends them to shape before the hoops are hammered over. April 1944 P010020
