Ah! New Bottom Paint

We just repainted the bottom, finally switching from the dull-but-functional black to bright and flashy and hopefully also functional red.

July 4 - Turning Around the U.S.S. Constitution

"Old Ironsides" out for her July 4th trip to greet well-wishers and to turn her in her berth.

Shipped from Paris

29 June 2011 | Fort-de-France, Martinique
The Bibliotheque Schoelcher is a Romanesque public library named after Victor Schoelcher, who led the fight to free the slaves in the French West Indies in the 19th century. The building is an architect's dream. It was originally built for the 1889 Paris Exposition by a contemporary of Gustave Eiffel - who built the Eiffel Tower for the same event. After the fair it was dismantled and shipped to Martinque and reassembled piece by piece.

One librarian's note though - the circulating collection is really small - but they use Dewey so that's nice. Like Boston Public - somone tried to attach a 1970-esque modern wing on the back of the beautiful building - with about the same look as the BPL modern wing.
