USS England Reunion - Charleston, South Carolina - June 24, 2005

Friday we had a full bus for the historic tour of Charleston which included the Citadel, Shopping and lunch in old Charleston and a tour of the Civil War Confederate submarine CSS Hunley (where we were not permitted pictures). As you may know CSS Hunley made history on February 17, 1864 by scoring the first sinking by a submarine when she used a 135 pound torpedo to sink USS Housatonic.

The day was capped off with a trip by powered catamaran to Morris Island, passing fort Sumter on the way, to see marine life and shells.

That evening we had drinks and dinner in a very nice banquet room followed by a music contest and karaoke! Yes, it is true and we do have some excellent singers in our group. Everyone enjoyed themselves!
