Tomorrowland, September 1959

As we all know, Monorails grow a new car every few years. Here's a picture when "Monorail Blue" was only 3 cars long. Why, it's just a puppy!


Nearby was George Washington's own personal submarine. When he wasn't chopping down cherry trees or throwing silver dollars across the Potomac, he loved to take his diesel-powered sub out for a cruise through what he called "liquid space". Sometimes he would put his wig on backwards and poke his head out of the conning tower just for yucks. That George!

Major-

I was under the impression powdered wigs (backwards, or otherwise) were verboten in the conning tower-? I guess when you're the 'Father of a country', special privileges are accorded...

From the people who brought you Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - it's George Washington: Mermaid Slayer.

I'm sure they named the sub after him since he was there in 1954 chopping down all the orange trees to make room for the park.

Nanook, most people don't know that GW usually wore a rainbow afro wig, unless he was having his portrait painted.

Melissa, having seen Abe's movie, "George Washington: Mermaid Slayer" can't be worse!

Tom, yes I seem to remember reading about that. This is why history is awesome!
