The Formast of the USS Maine is installed at the
US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
The Main mast can be found at Arlington National Cemetary,
in Arlington, Virginia, section 46.
The distance between these two masts,
is often referred to as the "longest ship in the Navy."

Preparing....

Occoquan Regional Park

 The Beehive Brick Kiln Marker.  This is one of 9 kilns that were operated by inmates of the Lorton correctional facility until the late 1960's.  The kiln had the capacity of approximately 12,000 bricks.  The railroad tracks go only approximately 500 feet from the kiln.   

 Perhaps a wagon used to transport the bricks?

 The chimney behind the Beehive Brick Kiln.

 Air vents.

 The Clubhouse adjacent to the boat dock at Occoquan.

 My new toy...

 To live on the river....must be nice!

 This building was tucked away along the walkway in the park. 

Nice roses.
