    We thoroughly enjoyed a visit to the Maritime Museum three years ago. It's a great place.

    They hardly seem old to me at all. I remember 1956, and 1968. '86 and '99 seem just like yesterday. Maybe I belong in a museum, too.
    This is a super photo, Jim. I like it a lot.

    I love the maritime museum and all the volunteers who give their time to restore old ships.
