That's impressive-- Where would a mural like that be?
ReplyDeleteThis is a mural in Manitowoc, Wisconsin where they built 28 submarines during WWII. They side launched them because the river was not wide enough to launch them any other way. It's a proud history.
DeleteThat is a good one. A unique way to launch.
ReplyDeleteA big splash!
ReplyDeleteInteresting way to launch them. Nice mural, thanks for participating in Monday Murals.
ReplyDeleteI've seen them launched this way before and always would think OH NO that's not going to work, but it seems to be just fine.
ReplyDeleteNice mural and an interesting way to launch them.
ReplyDeleteLove this one!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting mural. I didn't know subs were made Manitowac. While in CT, we were close to Groton, the "Submarine Capitol of the World". The Electric Boat Co was there and they build nuclear subs now. They don't launch them sideways..
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting angle of the actual subject in the painting.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a crash site there.
ReplyDeleteQuite interesting mural. I'm so glad you explained where it was located and why. Made it more interesting for me.
ReplyDeleteRed October?
