Traveling north along the Georgia and South Carolina coast we stopped at several Civil War forts and sites. I don't have pictures because it was so humid my camcorder would not work. Thank heaven for automobile air conditioning.
Savannah, Georgia had many neat things for a family. We had lunch in a converted house that was purportedly once a pirate's house (complete with underground tunnel to the docks). Museums and docks were a fun visit.
In Charleston, South Carolina we stopped to visit the U.S.S.
Yorktown which is a WW2 class air craft carrier that is docked
and explorable by us tourists.
The hanger deck is full of WW2 planes and other equipment. From here, you
take self guided tours around the ship (to see the engine room, follow
the green arrows).
So we tramped all over the ship. From bridge to engine
room, we discovered what an air craft carrier is made of.
An on deck gun was available for climbing. It attracted all the
children.
A submarine is also available to climb through. We explored from
torpedo room to engine room.
