In the Watertown Arsenal's Seacoast Shop, the machine shop department focused on the production and repair of heavy artillery and coastal defense weapons using milling machines. These machines were essential for shaping metal components with precision, ensuring the artillery pieces met exact specifications. Students, often from local technical schools or apprentice programs, were involved in hands-on learning experiences, working alongside skilled machinists. They gained practical knowledge in operating milling machines, performing maintenance tasks, and understanding the intricacies of artillery manufacturing and repair processes. This involvement provided valuable technical training and supported the arsenal's mission of maintaining high-quality military equipment.
