USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park, Mobile, AL

I ended up going down to Mobile, A this week for work. It was going to be a quick trip, only a few days so I generally pack as light as I can. I didn’t afford myself any room to bring the camera but I figured I would be working most of the time anyway. I didn’t account for the shift in our schedule so we did not interfere with the normal activity during the day. We worked 2pm until we were done, so I had some time on my hands Thursday morning.

Mobile is home to the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park. I passed the memorial on my way to the hotel my first night. It looked incredible. I had to go. It was amazing! I ran around the park with my phone trying to take it all in and grabbing as many images as I could. I wasn’t positive if I would be back down any time soon.

The first image is an edit I did on Thursday from my phone to show the USS Alabama. The rest of this post will be images from the USS Drum. A Gato-class, WW II submarine. I’ll be doing more posts to show of the incredible history collected in this park…
