What it this, some sort of pirate ship? We had 4 bubbleheads show up for a tour, so we showed 'em a good time. Bubbleheads rock!:salute:

Yer boat's too modern. Radar, extra guns, 1945 not 1942...

Nice! :sunny:

Did that fit with the mast and the bridge ? :hmmm: From that view, I'd say NO

If that's the Interstate 5 bridge over the Willamette River, there's PLENTY of clearance. I always get the willies driving over that thing. :cool: It's just foreshortening making it look lower than it really is.

Excellent pictures.
