Launching Hank Williams' Night Train at Naval Station Annapolis
May 2005

These are the pictures of Night Train being launched using a trailier. This is at Naval Station Annapolis, which is an old seaplane base, complete with hangers and a large ramp.

In the last photo, you can see part of the mooring field where she is now kept. A couple of weeks ago, we had a big scare when the mooring came loose and she drifted away. Fortunately, it was a calm day and someone found her and tied her up to a travel lift dock in Back Creek, across the Severn from where I am. No damage and she is back home. Apparently, the navy divers didn't inspect the mooring very well and the shackle holding the mooring to the anchor came loose.

I hope everyone is well back there on the left coast.

Regards,

Hank
