How museum access changes a preserved warship

What changes do ships need to become museum ships?

Visitor access sometimes requires alterations to original fittings. Sackville's transverse engine-maintenance beam was cut back so visitors could pass through the machinery space.

Sackville's engine-maintenance crane ran along a transverse beam through the machinery space. Sailors working aboard were expected to duck beneath it. Opening the compartment to visitors required more clearance, so part of the beam was cut away. The alteration lets children and other visitors enter and see the engine, at the cost of changing an original fitting.
