Apple Cider and Submarine
 |
| We came across the only steam driven cider left in the country in Mystic, CT built in 1881 |
 |
| The press on a turn-table |
 |
| Here you see boiler on left & steam driven engine on the right. |
 |
| Very coool. |
 |
| Near our campground we came across the only submarine manufacturer left, (Electric Boat Div. of General Dynamics) |
 |
| In the harbor they had USS Nautilus (the first nuclear sub)retired and open for tours. |
 |
| USS Nautilus's original props |
 |
| Outside the museum were various subs from long ago. |
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Touring a real sub was incredible. And a little tight. |
 |
| Touring while the sub was at the surface was one thing.... |
 |
| But if the sub was submerged a few thousand feet I think I would be claustrophobic |
 |
| The first sub with steps.(most have ladders) |
 |
| Pam on deck. |
 |
| It was soo cool. |
 |
| Cut away section.... |
 |
| 319 ft. long. |
 |
| The museum had a lot of neat stuff |
 |
| Some predecessors to the Nautilus |
 |
| Strange looking(first carrying two torpedoes) |
