I work at SF Maritime NHP where we have been doing similar work on the schooner C.A. Thayer. We found that a lot of her knees were able to be re-used.

Were you able to do this on the bark C.W. Morgan?

My dad used to teach at Southwestern at Memphis (now Rhodes College) right across the street from the zoo, and I also remember visiting back when the cat house was just a big, loud ugly building. It’s been good to have had a hand in repurposing these bars.

The old Cat-house was an awful place… it smelled horribly and was depressing to see those majestic creatures cooped up in such a small grim environment.

The structure itself is still there and is now an over-priced concession stand.

I’m thrilled that land-locked Memphis could make a contribution that will help hold the Charles Morgan together.
