Master and Commander made you feel like you were on the ship. Imagining what that would have been like.
@RaceBannon you may already be aware but for the price of admission to the Star of India, you can also venture on the Master and Commander ship used in the movie. I took the kids there back in 2019 to do what I did as a kid.
Hold Fast is what @swaye used to tell all the young sea-mens.
Any of you guys take advantage of the Mighty Mo tours when it was in Bremerton? To walk where the Japs surrendered was pretty cool for a kid. And we called them Japs back then too. And Krauts.
Of course. My old man loved taking out-of-town visitors to see the Mighty Mo. Then hop on the ferry and go to Seattle to eat at the Spaghetti Factory or Ivars on the pier. People loved that shit. I thought it was pretty awesome, too. The guns on that ship - and the decks. Incredible.

Went on the Missouri in Bremerton somewhere around 1975 as a kid, then took my kids to the Missouri at Pearl Harbor in 2013. Last week my 18yo reminded me how stern I was at the Arizona Memorial about maintaining proper respect

I can remember sitting in a chair somewhere around the bridge of BB63 back in 2011 on a Gray rainy morning looking out over turrets of the Arizona. There’s nothing like it so far as a naval history site is concerned.

My grandfather was on the Might Mo. I have a Japanese flag from one of the ships that surrendered and then gutted in the Puget Sound. I will take a pic next time I’m rummaging in storage and post it on the History board.
Seabiscuit is a freak of nature. Red Pollard was an oversized jockey. This pair should have never worked but somehow did. Probably not the best but I love horse racing
