The Vandenberg Arrives

For those of you that don't know, Key West has been trying for years to acquire an old navel ship (The Vandenberg) so that they can sink it and make another artifical reef. Well yesterday after many years in the works, the ship arrived. All I can say is what a big piece of rust she is too! About 200 people showed up on the dock to watch her be towed in. What an impressive site it was, especially with the carribean music playing in the background. For the next month she will under go more repairs in preparation to be sunk 6 miles off the island in 140 feet of water. If you would like to learn more about this adventure and see more pictures of the ship, please follow the following links: (Pictures of docking) http://images.keysnews.com/galleries/news/VAN%20GAL/index.htm
