FUN THING TO DO THIS WEEKEND

The hatch of the historic USS Dolphin will be opened by the Maritime Museum of San Diego this weekend for visitors to take a glimpse below the surface and into the past of this fascinating submarine.

Since her launch in 1968, the USS Dolphin has been awarded many firsts in history, including setting the record for deepest submarine dive—still held today—and the first email sent underwater. The opening of the USS Dolphin marks the seventh large, docked vessel to make its permanent home among the Maritime Museum of San Diego’s collection of historic ships and living history.

Last July 4th weekend I had a lot of fun visiting the Midway, the retired aircraft carrier. Although a bit pricey, you get a lot of value for the money if you take advantage of all of the things that you can see. I'm sure the same will be true of the Dolphin. We have a staff member there this weekend who will probably do a write up about her experience soon. Look for it!
