Our Tour Guide.  Her real job is a 7th grade History teacher.

Standing in line for a Harbor cruise.

Boston from the Harbor

This is The Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge.It is a cable-stayed bridge across the Charles River in Boston.
It has a striking, graceful appearance that is meant to echo the tower of the Bunker Hill Monument, which is within view of the bridge







The wood posts are normally not there.  They are only
Temporary for support while the ship is in Dry-Dock being repaired.


I went on a tour of this WW II Destroyer.
USS Cassin Young (DD-793) was a Fletcher-class destroyer of the U.S. Navy named for Captain Cassin Young (1894–1942), who was awarded the Medal of Honorfor his heroism at the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and who was killed in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal in the fall of 1942.
The tour was really informative and showed what the conditions
were like to serve on a destroyer in WW II.
