Guns and Galleons

[cuzcosquirrel]

To illuminate all the things people talk about, here are pictures from Fort Ticondergoa, New York of their cannon collection and of two ships, one a reproduction of the Mayflower, and one a reproduction of a Manila galleon.

Enjoy.

It's family vacations throughout New York when I was a kid to places like that, that lit the fire in my heart for history. I grew up about 30 minutes from "Old Fort Niagara" and loved going there all the times we’d get visitors. It’s funny in a way to see these pictures because like Niagara Falls I never took any pictures because I could just go look at it.

The first time I took my wife up there she was taking pictures like crazy and I was like, “what are you doing? She replied, “It’s Niagara Falls, it’s so beautiful and I’ve only heard about them most of my life.” I paused for a moment before it dawned on me.

Really nice pictures and now they mean even more to me. One, because of treasure hunting and two because I can’t “just go” see them!

Lake Bomoseen is located real close to Ft. Ticonderoga.

As a child we had a summer home on lake Bomoseen, spent a lot of time there.
