This was our cruise ship on a trip to Alaska. There were 4 crew and 7 guests. It was so nice having such a small group and the small boat allowed us to go farther up Tracy Arm to see the glaciers. The name of the boat is Discovery. It is an old wooden yacht that had belonged to the William Morris Agency at one time. It has a beautiful dining room and salon.

I had never before been to this nearby park when the leaves are gone from the trees, but it is still a treat without all that green.

Grand Turk. I see these in most ports in the Caribbean. Some are close to the shore such as this, others are farther out. All abandoned. I would think that a salvage company could make some easy money on this situation.

The lady in the photo is none other than Lily Langtry. Many years ago I was shopping and saw the photo being used as just a stock photo in a picture frame that was for sale. I recognized the portrait right away as I had always admired the PBS production of "The Jersey Lily" and had researched Lily Langtry. Anyway, I asked the store clerk if I could have the paper (photo) inside the frame but not buy the frame. LOL He looked at me like I was crazy, and I tried to explain my excitement. He gave it to me! I took the "photo" to a framer and had it properly matted and framed. True story. murraysmom, I like that pic. What a sweet expression on the dog's face.

Socks, we were invited to help if we wanted to. I did get to fish off the boat and caught a 15 lb. coho salmon. The chef caught a 25 lb. halibut. We had a few meals using both those fish. The crab was fresh caught as well. It was a really fun trip!

Jim and Glenda's photos remind me of a kayaking trip I took to Mallows Bay along the Potomac River south of DC, where the remains of hundreds of ships lie just below the water line, emerging at low tide.

There is one large steel wreck, shown here, and many other older vessels that are mostly reduced to wooden pieces and rusty bits.

An aerial view shows the outlines of where the ships were.

The story behind the wrecks is a fascinating story of a government plan gone wrong

The Discovery? Go to alaskacharters.com. for information. Captain John Swanson headed up our trip. We went in July. We did the Juneau to Juneau trip.

This was our chef and his 25 lb. halibut.
