USS Alabama

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 09.17.07 // 10:22 PM

While I'm spending time in Mobile, AL for a conference I snuck away and spent some time aboard the USS Alabama. The thing is huge and photos don't do it justice. There is one sense of scale when you're on the deck, then you go below deck and keep finding room after room and story after story. I've uploaded a photoset from the afternoon. The bottom photo here is from the engine room. Lots of tubes :-)

Joah,
Great meeting you tonight. Your pictures of the battleship are terrific. I've been there many times and you make it look great. I'm really looking forward to your presentations tomorrow. Thank you for joining us.

Thanks for the reminder. Haven't been there since Boys' State (22 years ago!)

Gotta take the kids one day soon...

Despite being from Pensacola, I have never visited the battleship. However, after many storms and many dry summers, I can recall seeing the USS Alabama tour area underwater. It's crazy to think how much that ship has gone through.

I never pass up an opportunity to visit old ships... thanks for posting.

In spite of being from Pensacola, I have been so many times visited the battleship. However, after many snowstorm and many dry summers, I can recall seeing the USS Alabama tour area underwater. I am dam crazy about that.
