This is to chronicle my adventures on the USS Midway as a Docent. I was a civilian - I did not serve in the military, but I have respect for those that did.

Saturday, June 03, 2006

We had plenty of docents for the morning watch, but we were a little short handed for the afternoon.

A cool ship was docked next to us today. The Esmeralda from Chilean Navy. It's a 4 masted barquentine tall ship, and the second tallest sailing ship in the world. Take a look for yourself:


A few of their sailors came aboard today for our tours. Their English was lacking, but their enthusiasm was full sail.

We also had a special event tonight - since this is the anniversary of the Battle of Midway, they had a reunion and celebration with some special guests - actual Battle of Midway survivors. Here are a few pics of the sailors setting up our flight deck for the event, they were hustling and all business:
