Today, Susan, Joan, Daisy and I went to Pelican Island, to Seawolf Park out on the end of the island.  There's a WWII submarine the USS Cavalla and one of only three destroyer escorts in the world, the USS Stewart. The remains of the tanker S.S. Selma, the largest concrete ship constructed, can be seen northwest of the park's fishing pier.  Susan and I explored the submarine and destroyer - up and down ladders, through round doorways - it was facinating!
