Chick and Ruth's & US Naval Academy Museum
Tuesday, April 14, 2015
Weather was uncooperative for working on the boat – cold and
raining.
We went to Annapolis to order
anchor chain, wash-down pump, paint and some parts from Bacon’s. Stopped at Chick and Ruth’s for lunch (great malts and pies). http://www.chickandruths.com/
After lunch, we toured U.S. Naval Academy. Highlights were the Naval Academy Museum http://www.usna.edu/Museum/ which has
exhibits about the history of seapower, the development of the US Navy and the
life of a midshipman.
The Museum's holdings include: ship models, paintings, prints, flags,
uniforms, swords, firearms, medals, sculptures, manuscripts, rare books,
photographs, ship instruments and gear, and a wide variety of personal marine
memorabilia.
A highlight of the tour was the Naval Academy Chapel which
contains the crypt of John Paul Jones.
