Today was devoted to walking around and looking at stuff. In a concession to my advanced age, I took a little rest mid-day and I will be early to bed this evening.
I checked out the Coast Guard vessel. It is even older than I am. It was war reparations from Germany after WWII and the US won it in a lottery with the English, French, and Russians. At least that is what they told me at the pier.
On my wanderings, I accidentally ran into a model of the Hunley.
I was amazed at how small it is. Only to find out that they made the model too big.
As you can see I am taller than the sub. which is about 6 inches off the ground. They must have had very small sailors. Sailors on the Hunley had very short life expectancies. I seem to recall that it sank 3 times. One of the times, Mr. Hunley the designer was on board and died. Which seems fair to me. But it did sink a Union ship.
No wall art today. But a great sign.
