| .. ....The
nets were still being used to seal off the Chesapeake Bay in
"55".
There was no bridge.
Boats were used to open and close the net
which hung from buoys
and streached
to the bottom so as submarines could not enter the bay; just as the
background
of this web page depicts. There were also mines that set on the
bottom that
could be activated as necessary. The nets were put together by
the
hands of ....seaman..who
just come out of boot camp and was a very dirty job. Vern could
have done
this but chose to Mess Cook..his
entire stay here
........ ..... Vern is
showing off
on a barge, part the harbor fleet.
