Climb Aboard the Emily Grace


Explore the compelling travel log of Tom, his Admiral Kim and daughter Emily, as they soon bring their six year excursion to a close. In 2008, they sold their home and set out aboard their Nordhavn 46, Emily Grace, for the adventure of a lifetime. Their travels are filled with educational stories, great adventure and heart warming encounters. Climb aboard the Emily Grace and join in the adventure at mvemilygrace.blogspot.com.
America's oldest museum happens to be The Charleston Museum right here in South Carolina. It opened in 1773, and from the beginning, displayed geological specimens from its surrounding areas. Outside there is a replica of the American Civil War H. L. Hunley submarine of the Confederate States of America. Drawing from my vast experience working at the Groton submarine factory (Ha Ha), I explained to Emily that the Hunley demonstrated the advantages and the dangers of undersea warfare. She was the first combat submarine to sink a warship, although Hunley was not completely submerged and, following her successful attack, was lost along with her crew before she could return to her base. Apparently, the bowsprit containing the explosive charge was not quite long enough!
