I have been there several times over the years. I was glad they took her out of the water. The bay was doing a number on her hull back then. I love to tour the Drum and the Alabama there.

Great photos !!! I was a surface skimmer myself. it would really be worthwhile to tour some of these old boats.

Makes me look forward to next week. I'm planning on taking the kids down to see Cavalla in Galveston. I really hope the conning tower is open. Last time we were down there, it wasn't, but it's been a few years.

I plan on making them watch before we go, too.

You're in California? Get to the Pampanito if San Fransisco. I managed to drag my boss there a few years back while we were in the area for a conference.

I'll be visiting the Drum in about two weeks.
