This entry details the dangerous process of clearing live historical ordnance from Bannerman Island, as described by explosive ordnance demolition expert Val Forgett. Forgett, trained under Colonel Jarrett at Aberdeen Proving Ground, spent a summer meticulously locating and recovering Civil War and Spanish-American War shells scattered across the island and within its castle ruins. The task was so hazardous that military units refused it, referring Forgett as the only one 'crazy enough' to undertake the job.
