Out with the boys



One Saturday when I was young I remember my dad, my brother, me, and uncle Willie (we called him Woody) and his friend Paul went over to the peninsula. My dad took a couple of pictures with his Kodak 616 camera. In the first one we are at the Perry Monument.




The second picture shows the USS Wolverine, which had been beached at Misery Bay in 1927. It was the first iron-hulled warship and was built in 1842. In 1949 it was cut up and sold for scrap.
