Before dry docks, boat hulls had to be repaired by leaning the boat on it's side. This was very dangerous and placed a lot of stress on the hull. The USS Constitution was the first ship that used Dry Dock 1 in Charleston Naval Yard for repairs.

Day 53 - Just Squirrels

There isn't a lot of open space in Charleston, so I guess the squirrels take advantage of the grass on the Bunker Hill battlefield. Not the greatest of shots, but I like it that there are three all lined up.
