At the Submarine Museum

Oriental, NC Public Dock
N 35 01.491 W 076 41.70

Below are a few pictures from the Submarine Museum in St. Mary's Georgia.

Above: Amazing. We have a clock identical to this one on board Tarwathie. It comes from a Russian nuclear submarine. Our clock is the one memento we have left from my father's gigantic collection of clocks. It hangs in our V-berth.





This telegram is probably one of the most tragic and frightening icons of the 20th century. Take the time to read it if you can. In today's world, soldiers still die but there are no telegrams. What do they do, send an email or a text message? That's too aweful to imagine.
