Beach November 2013 part 2

This is the type of rudder the USS NC would have had, this particular one was from another ship.
 
Wilmington NC












Jake doing the Titanic thing, I haven't told him he was at the back of the ship, instead of the front. Ssssssssssssssssh!



Some stretcher 5' x 8' ?




44 mm guns

Now there is a mission statement you would not see in this day and time.

Jake in the sick bay.

Good thing dad had that healing water. We hope he will make a full recovery.







A sign on the deck of the ship said there were alligators living in the area, we were wondering if the long trail with bumps beside it was an alligator track....glad that ship was 9 levels high!
My Mom and Dad told me about sending dimes to the campaign to bring the USS North Carolina. They both remember taking their dimes to school.








The two things I remember about visiting this ship when I was a child were the large links in the chain and having my picture made standing beside some sort of shell.  Going to have to get mom to dig out the photo to make sure this is the right one.

On the way home from a very fun weekend trip to the beach and a visit to a North Carolina landmark.
