I've always had a soft spot for her, even though Canada isn't really connected with Pearl Harbour. Such a beautiful ship and it makes me glad (well not the right word but I can't think of a good one) that they choose to keep her as a memorial.
Pimpley- I'll confess to having a soft spot for the old battle-wagons. If you want some good historical reading Massey's "Dreadnought" and "Castles of Steel" are worth the time.
Yes indeed. I've stood above her and watched those oil bubbles (tears) rise to the surface, thinking, those poor souls are still trapped inside.
ReplyDeleteI've stood there myself my friend. It is a hallowed space.
