Brass barrel tap from the Haleswell wreck.

Brass barrel tap

This is a solid brass barrel tap, probably for either rum or wine kegs. The tap would have been hammered into the side of the barrel and used to pour out the drinks. Although completely encrusted in debrise and concretion when found, after cleaning the tap operated as if new.
