December 7, 1941. I've heard a lot about that day. My father-in-law was there. Though it seems he didn't talk about it too much. It had to have left an indelible mark in his memory though. This is certainly a piece of our history. A nice angle is made by the boat and the bridge in the distance.

There is a lot to look at and think about in this shot Marsha. Good reminder of the cost of freedom.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
That is quite a shot my Friend.....amazing I might say. What history there must be. What an essence this must have for many like 'LANJOCKEY.' Even though I have no experience with this, I can see/feel an intensity about it....awesome photo....

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Superb capture and detail Marsha, that's great history you've given us.

We've lost 60cms/2 feet of snow, hurray and a high of 17C / 63F
A proud old Man-of-War spending its retirement years in dignity. Nice capture especially with the bridge in the background.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
It's good that some destroyers escape the scrappers yard, you've managed to capture this old boat very well.
