Umm...what are those two grey things next to the dock at the right side of the photo?

What an impression they made. There can't be that many ex CMs out there that filled the role!<br /><br />Something I just noticed in the second picture: Notice the nails coming up out of the top of the conning tower. Very small and discrete, probably to keep seagulls from hitching a ride.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562521359201308834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-61424723561780932742011-03-13T09:26:07.839-07:002011-03-13T09:26:07.839-07:00Thufer, I know you love those subs!

The mermaids last until 1967 and replaced with fake mermaids that were under the water. <br /><br />1959-1960 and then again in 1965-1967. <br /><br />I hope that helps.Orange Co Nativenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-17524209205346182132011-03-13T06:37:28.492-07:002011-03-13T06:37:28.492-07:00What an exciting set.

I love the 'Grays'; and to me, part of the realism and(sci-fi/atomic/tomorrow-ish)charm is the fact that they were stained and showed an amount of wearing.Thuferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692445357659425688noreply@blogger.com
