November 19th & 20th - Wilmington North Carolina
I was in Wilmington for a conference, but had some free time to do a bit of sightseeing.
Battleship North Carolina.

Given my love of large mechanical things I started with a battleship. This is the view when boarding the ship

View from the bow with 6, 16 inch guns pointed overhead and the waterfront of Wilmington in the background.

View of the bow from the bridge
Carolina Beach

Right before sunset on a cool, but sunny day

I enjoyed watching the pelicans cruise back and forth over the waves.

This is the best picture I was able to get of one.
Fort Fisher

Fort Fisher defended the last open Confederate harbor at Wilmington

More pelicans flying over the Confederate Memorial at the fort. Conferate Memorials are common sight in North Carolina
