Boston the Scholar - Mission Impossible at Charlestown Navy Yard

Boston is definitely a lovely city. It's our first time to have a passer-by took the initiative to show us direction in the US. The lady even accompanied us for a while to ensure we caught the correct way. With this warm experience, how can we not love Boston.

We were crossing Charles Bridge, a bridge is open to both human and vehicles. Thanks F for showing how close the 2 types of target customers were.


This dry dock was responsible for war ship's maintenance. Now it is a symbol of sophisticated old engineering.


USS Constitution, the unique attraction of the navy yard. It carries the proud of the US as this warship had won them many victories in the past. The lady wearing the warship's uniform actually serves in the US Navy and is appointed as a tour guide.


Welcome on board! Here is gun deck where attacks took part.


Sleeping deck. A sailor enjoyed no privacy while a general had some. Anyway, no fun to sleep in wavy sea.


Navy sailors could take a rest but not must a good rest. The reason was they were required to be ready 7 x 24. They could climb up to the gun deck through the ceiling when there was any emergency.


In the museum on another side, one can try to shoot. Lucky it's only a game. War is better to be prohibited.
