On this episode of Florida Roadside Attractions we board the SS American Victory Ship & Museum. It was like traveling back in time to 1945! This Merchant Marines cargo ship served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.

Maybe I say this every time... but this is actually one of my most fav vids we have done together so far. Your video turned out so good!! I loved it!! I KNEW you would do more history and facts than I did! :) It was so much fun climbing all over everything, trying on hats, spending a large amount of time in the spooky shower, and pretending to know any amount of information regarding boats. Thank you for taking me here babe, I had a boat-load of fun!!

This video was great! You and Cris are so enjoyable and the tour was very informative. Cris is hilarious, so loveable and relatable. We discover a new Cris phobia in almost every video. Talking about her experience as a Disney boat captain made me laugh.

Where the Captain puts his "STOGEY" is a Voice tube,used to communicate orders short distances between compartments,typically by the Captain or Officer of the Deck,the officer in charge of the ship at that time.

Have you seen what is happening to our local WWII Warship called the USS The Sullivans, it has major damage in its hull and has been taking on water for over a week. I live in western ny by the way. Ours is very haunted and very nice inside, I have been there many times in the summer and even toured it when I was little and saw a barrier to block off a section you could not enter move with no breeze and even picked up evp’s while we were there in the summer. You guys are sooo cute together . Great vlog guys.

toured the 'YORKTOWN" in south Carolina, and saw all the planes, and toured the middle of the ship, as my brother served aboard an air craft carrier for three yrs in the Navy back in the early 90's, anyway if you get a chance go out to that one for video documentation, i'll save the rest of the info for you to find out about...NO SPOILERS...and it's (gyro)scope pronounced with a J...your splecome.

Its amazing, my brother enlisted @ age 18 and came out years later as a Navy pilot! My dad was a career Navy man and my nephew is on a ship now. #gonavy

I visited and explored around aboard the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi, Texas on April 3 2022. Yes, she's a large ship so there was plenty of climbing up and down ladders while also carefully working my way through narrow passageways. We shouldn't forget about low overheads for tall people, me, to avoid hitting their heads on. They have the Tom Cruise F-14 Tomcat from Top Gun on her flight deck. I was walking along a non working escalator on one lower deck with other visitors and jokingly called, " All hands to battle stations. I repeat, all hands to battle stations. Incoming enemy aircraft off the port bow. "
