More random historical stuff...

These are just more random pics from the ship, sub, sailboat and the historical buildings in Philly.


Above: These are hammocks on the oldest wooden battle ship still floating.
Below: This is the end of a sub where they load the torpedoes.

Above: This is the lunchroom/kitchen

Below: This is the only lunch area on the entire sub, 4 tables and they all have ledges all around the edges so stuff doesn't fall off.

Above: at the Sea Museum there is a working sailboat repair shop and they are building the out house part of a sailboat, its the part that houses the steering wheel and gauges.

Above: This is my dad's foot next to the chain of the anchor on the sailboat we visited. To put things in perspective my dad wears a size 13-14 shoe.

Below: This is the kitchen of the same sail boat.

Above: A battle ship from across the way. If I remember correctly it is the USS New Jersey.

Above: The "Sunrise Chair", It has been said that Ben Franklin gave a speech on the day of the signing of the declaration of independence that no one ever knew if it was a sun rise or a sun set carved in the top of the chair but now everyone knew a new day was coming and it was a sun rise.
Above: this is the angel in Penn Station.
