Back in the fall I asked the boys where they would like to go on field trips this year. Marty chose the historic ships downtown. So, today we finally got there.
First stop: the submarine. It killed the last ship in WWII—a Japanese defense net boat.
Next stop: The Chesapeake. I did not go on the Chesapeake or the sub. It was a lightship, part of the lighthouse program.
Third stop the Taney, a Coast Guard ship built in 1936 and the last ship that survived Pearl Harbor to be retired.
Charlie thought the bunks were pretty cool, but I think it would have been claustrophobic.
Final stop: the Constellation, a US Navy ship commissioned in 1855.
It was a beautiful day in the Inner Harbor. But hot—about 94 degrees.
“Shooting” the cannon.
Not a lot of head room for some of us.
