Touring Old Ships at San Diego Bay






























We spent an afternoon touring the 4 ships and a Russian Submarine that are here as a floating museum on the bay. Steve really enjoyed the submarine - it is the type he spied upon! It was fun going through the sub and having Steve be the tour guide; reading the russian signs to us, explaining the different tasks of the sailors on the sub and comparing it to the US subs and sailors. We toured the Star of India and the Surprise. The Star of India is 144 years old and the Surprise is a reproduction and was used for the filming of the movie Master and Commander. It was a great afternoon!
