Here is a reduction of gun_7802 to 72-by-52 (down from 77-by-49). The gun is shown in the canonical form (width >= height, the output glider stream goes to SE, the output glider will make a cell outside the bounding box of the gun alive in the next generation):

This is an octomino. See polyomino.

Not only that, but T=1 of the pattern you posted is an octomino that converges to the same evolutionary sequence as the standard two-glider octomino. The standard octomino (upper right, below) is a grandparent of the one in the p162 torus oscillator, but the T=161 phase in the oscillator has a different predecessor instead, an 8-plet (upper left, below).

... I originally wrote "octoplet" instead of "8-plet", which I think is technically correct but it looks way too easy to confuse with "octuplet".

Here is another way to restore the ship, but it requires resetting Callahan's G-to-H and two boats. I do not know of a compatible boat factory for one of two boats; creating and routing additional gliders will take time; and that's not counting restoring the beehive:
