Located in the compartments surrounding the forward shell
handling room on OLYMPIA are magazines, or
spaces used for storage of projectiles and powder. The bulkheads
surrounding the magazine are finished with painted cork, to help to
alleviate the threat of sparks and insulate the space against heat in
adjoining spaces. The cork, however, did not exist in 1898.
