In 2000 Mark Adams returned for the
first time to Patriots Point since 1992. The biggest surprise he found was that
the SAVANNAH was no longer at the maritime museum. In the mid 90's it had been
returned to Norfolk, Virginia to be mothballed once again. But Mark did find all
of the JUDGMENT DAY shooting locations on the YORKTOWN, and explored the ships
that remained at Patriots Point. The following are the photos Mark took of the
ships
(Photos will be
added soon)
2003
In 2003 Mark once again
returned to Patriots Point for a visit. The following are some of the photos he
took of the U.S.S. YORKTOWN.

Mark took his daughter, Morgan, to visit
Patriots Point on January 15th. It was her first visit to the maritime museum.
She also took her brand new digital camera to take photos. Mark took his Canon
XL-1S camcorder to shot some footage for his ETV documentary called THE
VANISHING GENERATION.

and Morgan returned to Patriots Point for another visit. This became an annual
fun Holiday Father/Daughter trip to the museum. Once again they took still
photos with Morgan's camera, and shot video with Mark's Canon XL-1S camcorder.
