Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Naval Undersea Museum, in Keyport, Washington

HI Brent,

We contacted NUM before the 2004 convention. I even went up there personally to talk to the staff. They didn't want to work with us. The gentleman who would make the final decision wasn't there at the time and would not return any of my queries.

As a result we made NUM a optional field trip for that convention and held the convention itself in the Portland, Oregon area.

Regards,
Ray

This Museum and might be a great site for a future PSUBS convention. They have a large library, meeting rooms and large theater and it looks like they might like subs.
 
There is a working interior sub door at this museum I had seen once before, but wanted more detailed pictures, since I plan to build a couple some time down the road. I'll have to measure it up next time I'm there and make a moving assembly model of it. If your a gear head these pictures are for you.

Some miscellaneous pictures I took at the museum you might find of interest. The subs hanging from the ceiling are only models of the real ones.
