USS Cobia trip 2008

CoolHand · 08-01-08, 01:13 PM

ok i stopped there on my way back from vacation on Highway 43. It's located at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowac, Wisconsin. Manitowac produced 28 submarines during WWII. the USS Cobia was manufactured however on the East Coast. this sub is in GREAT shape, it is a fully working sub if need be. everything has been kept up in pristine condition. when i was there weds, they were preparing for a engine run that night.

i have almost 200 pictures to share however the total on them is almost 700mb worth. since i used the Canon EOS Rebel XTI i have. used the highest setting possible hence why each picture is 2.5 to 4.0mb in size. so if someone has a idea on how to share all of these please let me know and i will try to upload them to that site. or i could just pick a few pictures and put them up in thumbnails, your choice but i did managed to get pictures of just about everything on the sub.

Maybe get someone with a photo editing software to re-size the images. Most image hosts are going to deny posting of photos that size.

Hope you get something worked out soon looking foward to the 'tour'.

I'd love to see about 20 of your favorite photos from the Cobia. Inside and outside. I'm about to begin putting together something for the USSVI convention.

copy..i can do w/e you want. i'm hoping to condense them into a RAR file later on and upload the file to a file sharing place. that way you can decide which ones you like.

i'll get to work on that here in a little bit

That would be wonderful. Please share the link with me when you find a place to put your file.

will do. thinking i may have to split up the files into 100mb rar's but thats not hard at all. i have HJ split which does it for me. and then combines them all back together in seconds. if i have to do that i'll put them up on rapidshare, and just reset my ip each time so i can upload all of them. then thats what you'll have to do in order to get each file. sucks but atleast that way its free
