We have a cruise planned for this coming February on her. I am looking forward to the smaller more classical style of cruising. No glitter and excessive water park thyme.
I’d love to stay in an interior cabin, because of the money savings and because of how dark I assume it gets in there. Folks say you sleep really well. My lovely wife would get claustrophobic though. So the only way it’ll ever happen is if I cruise solo.
Great video!. Thank you for zeroing in on some of the informational signs. I was able to pause video and read them. I would love to see this exhibit! Thank you for sharing it with us. The hubby and I love history. We go to museums every chance we get. We especially like these types where you get to see mechanical stuff. Cars, planes, factories, etc. It's awesome to see how things worked when people had to use machinery. Life before everything automated by computers. From the complicated to the simple, yet genius machines, I love them all. Marvels of the technology of the past. Now I wonder what the most modern ships (war ships, not the cruise ships I like to vacation on, lol) look and work. Idiot lights instead of gauges? Mostly automated? Technology has moved so fast! Love seeing all things before the digital age began! ❤ Love what you are posting on this channel. Keep the adventures coming!
She sank the IJN Shokaku, a large aircraft carrier that was one of the last remaining Pearl Harbor attackers. The ship looks SO much better than when I saw her last many years ago. Thanks for the tour, I’ll have to revisit her soon
Her nickname the "Lucky Lady" perfectly describes her. She was almost lost due to the local Galveston government sneakily trying to scrap her and her neighbor USS Stewart (destroyer escort) in the 1990s to build a RV park over where she currently sits and in the 2000s they again tried to scrap them both and replace Seawolf Park with a container port for merchant/cargo ships. The locals and WWII vets rallied around the country to save Cavalla. She does deserve extra love because she is the only surviving submarine to sink an aircraft carrier and she was the one that sank the legendary Shokaku, 1 of the 6 Pearl Harbor carriers. She was the only submarine that sank any of the 6 Pearl Harbor Japanese carriers.
There was a gold miner that was getting robbed of his gold and was not willing to give them his gold so they told him "Are you willing to die for some gold?" And the man stood up and looked them dead in in their eyes and said "Are you willing to kill someone for gold?"
I have amazing pics of blue ice from our cruise to Alaska in 2018. That was my first cruise. I did not want to go. I figured the food would be like hospital, a crappy buffet at best, it would be crowded, and boring. Lololololol. My hubby proved me wrong. Now we cruise 2 times a year. 😂 We want to go back to Alaska but, I will never fly Air Canada again. So, bummer that we will have to do a back to back and fly in and out of Anchorage. 😁😉 (We boarded in Seaward.)
