Légende

A cane, or walking stick, used by Chief Master Carl Brashear (1931-2006), an African-American United States Navy sailor and master diver, despite having his left leg amputated in 1966. The body of the cane is alternating black and brown in color, with a shiny surface. The middle portion of the cane is twisted, creating a twirling appearance. The handle of the cane is white, and resembles a door knob. At the bottom of the cane, there is a white stopper. There is a gold tag with text etched into it, reading: [BILL COPELIN / SONORA. KY / '97] circling around the cane, close to the top, underneath the white knob handle.
