A walk through the Parks at Portsmouth had this interesting statue of a soldier that fought in the Spanish War of 1898
This arch reminded me of Lallybroch, (for all Outlander Fans)
Our first stop was at the Lightship Museum, only to find it closed.
I would have hated to be a Seaman aboard these vessels. They must have rolled like a Pig, in shallow water with breaking waves. I salute the Mariners who stood this amazing service to all Ships.
This is Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, one that we never see from sea, as we’re standing so far off-shore from the shoals and Gulf Current pushing one onto the Oracoke Bans
The Lightship Museum being closed, our next port of call was the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Museum a few hundred meters away.
Outside the Museum is a Town Dock, and we could have brought the dinghy right to the doorsteps. However we did not know of this and had enjoyed our walk through the parks and had been en-route to the Lightship Museum anyway
Walking back along the Promenade we could view this Huge Dry Dock with a Naval Vessel across the river at Norfolk
