There's always lots of activity in the San Diego Harbour.
Here while we were having an afternoon drink along comes aircraft carrier #72.
If anyone down there in S.D. knows the proper name of this vessel, let me know.

Great capture of the harbor with the boats.

Thanks spikedcoffee for the info and for the tags. We were wondering if it was.
ReplyDeleteWe just love it in S.D. - there's so much going on all the time, lots of activity around the harbour and airport.
Will be down for Thanksgiving and hope to get more photos then.
Here's a quote regarding the Indefatigable you might find interesting (the pilot in question was a New Zealander, my G-father):
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reference. As you know, my father was a FAA pilot on Indefatigable but he never mentioned its visit to NZ (by that stage he had left the boat for home leave) I got some info from Ross Higgins ( of the Wakefield Steam Museum) about Roy Archer,
(whom my father never mentioned) that said that Indefatigable had visited him in the Sounds (Pelorus Sound to SW of Maud Island) where Roys friend the Admiral of the Fleet then visited him at Tuna Bay.
The picture of the carrier in Queen Charlotte Sound may in fact be Pelorus Sound.
Thanks so much Ice Nine (and lovely to hear of your family connection to the image). I'll pass the info about the possibility that this may be Pelorus Sound on to our curators.
