I was there in 1974 in rough to SEA last trip. When I got to the area where the "boat" takes you out to the memorial I asked the sailor (a young female) when the next "boat" leaves. She informed me it was not a boat, it was a barge. Well I was Air Force so there all "boats" to me. Any way a "barge" pulled up to the dock so I hopped on board. That's when all hell broke loose. The two sailors on board were screaming at me, get off of this barge this is the "admirals" barge. I failed to notice the 5 star pendent on the bow of the "barge". The young female sailor had a good laugh. Well I finally got out to the memorial and to this day it was a feeling i will not forget. Great pictures thanks for sharing.
CORRECTION it was a 4 star pendent.
