Ships ahoy!
Today was our work's summer outing. The powers that be chose the Charlestown Navy Yard, which I probably had been to as a child but honestly don't remember. It's part of the National Park Service, so it's all free, and it's very close to our office.
For our corporate thing, they set up a big tent with a DJ and endless tables of food (lobster, steak tips, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, clam chowder, various salads, corn on the cob, then strawberry shortcake and watermelon for dessert. And italian ice. And an open bar with everything), and they had set up tables for Texas Hold 'Em and areas for various sports. It was pretty good. I didn't play anything, but I did tour the two ships they have there, the USS Constitution, and the USS Cassin Young.
We went aboard the Constitution, a still-commissioned 1797 frigate
I looked up at the rigging
I wondered about mystery holes
I enjoyed the shipyard flavor
And I saw the Cassin Young, a retired WWII destroyer
I visited sick bay
Saw torpedoes
And thought about war.
It was a nice day. Loads more pictures over at my Flickr stream. Slideshow here (You can turn on info about photos in a slideshow by pointing at the middle of a picture and clicking the big "i" that appears.
