Right in my backyard:

NANTUCKET, Mass., (July 2000)--The two halves of the SS Argo Merchant swirl in a sea of foam before being sucked under. The tanker broke into two pieces Dec. 21, 1976, after running aground six days earlier on its way to Salem, Mass., with a load of 7.3 million gallons of heavy industrial fuel oil. The 644-foot, 18, 743-ton Liberian-flagged tanker ran aground Dec. 15 in international waters 28 miles southeast of Nantucket Island, causing a major spill. Helicopters from Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod, Mass., lifted the 38 crewmembers to safety Dec. 15 and 16. Photo courtesy of Coast Guard Historian.
When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

I remember that. Heck of an ugly mess. And during the Bi-Centennial year too.  :-[  Although by then I suppose most of the festivities for that were done with.

Not exactly on topic but this morning I went to the WWII Museum in New Orleans to escort a pile driver being trucked of of an expansion project on site. (I drive a pilot truck for a friend as a part time gig to make '57 parts bucks.) I have been through the Museum once before and it is truly incredible. It takes more than a day to see and it attracts international visitors. It is well worth a trip to see it and worth a bucket list notation especially if you ever get close.

Here is a link... I was waiting outside and looking at the pavers on the sidewalk, name of soldiers, sailors and airmen with notes from their families, I couldn't look too long because it was so emotional for me.

It has been added on in large form since these these pics were taken. The full size bronze statues outside (Roosevelt on a bench, Anne Frank looking you in the eye, and a prebombing run briefing scene with airmen being comforted by departed comrades) and are incredible in there own right.

Your posts of bombers in distress of late were very compelling. Thank you.

Thank you for the info Lynn. I had never before heard about that Museum (shame on me). It looks very interesting. the 'airborn' ( suspended) planes are breathtaking ! Also pretty 'modern' layout with taking the visitor into the scene. like the stairways into the Wehrmacht picture...Horrible and fascinating all the same.
If we ever get to fly over the pond again, Big Easy would als be very appealing place to visit. All that music....

I believe there was also an underground facility like this near Wiener Neustadt/Austria ( then Deutsches Reich). There is a surviving fully intact Heinkel 162 (second Luftwaffe jet ever) in the Planes of fame Museum in Chino/Cal !

"Partly completed Heinkel He-162 fighter jets sit on the assembly line in the underground Junkers factory at Tarthun, Germany, in early April 1945. The huge underground galleries, in a former salt mine, were discovered by the 1st U.S. Army during their advance on Magdeburg. This factory was capable of producing 40-50 He 162s per month."
