2000

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.
