This is one of those "can you believe this" pictures....the ship is
currently stuck off the Golden Gate, waiting for seas to die down
enough to lower the cranes' top beams, so it will fit under the bridge.


I've both driven and walked (partway) across that bridge and it's a
helluva long way down to the water. Isn't the Newport News crane
something like 560' tall? It definitely wouldn't fit under.

Can you imagine sailing that across the big ocean????


Hoo, boy! Don't get that one rockin'!
