125. We went really slow past the boathouse to not swamp them.

126. Not sure what this building is.

127. Subway train repair yard.

128. The Broadway Bridge connects Manhattan to the US continent, though Marble Hill which was separated when the river course was re-routed.

129. The Columbia University "C". That is not Columbia University, however.

130. Amtrak at the Henry Hudson Bridge.

131. The Amtrak swing bridge.

132. George Washington Bridge, and the lighthouse that was saved from demolition. There is a children's book entitled The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge. These are they :-)

133. Grant's Tomb, Riverside church, and another building.

134. Barge.

The end of Day Six!

Great series, and looks like you had a grand old time. Really enjoyed the shots of the Intrepid. It brought back a lot of good memories. I was on the USS Oriskany (CVA-34) for a couple of years and she was about the same size as the Intrepid. If you look at picture #36 (Marine berthing), our sleeping quarters were the same, and I had the top bunk of the 3. You always wanted to be on top as there was a little more room, plus you didn't have people "stepping on you" as they climbed up to the top bunk.

I'm glad you got a little out of it. Ship life is a bit cramped, from my touristy experiences :-)

Onward to Day Seven!
