Bench made from decommissioned ship . . .

This bench was constructed from the gangway boards of the USS St. Louis (C-20) which was launched May 6, 1905 and decommissioned March 3, 1922.

Old worn bench?????

I don't know if this was originally a bench but it looks like it is being used as one now. I wonder what the myseterious hole in it was for? There was no explanation near it but it was in the naval Museum in Bremerton. You know me . . . if there is a possibility that it might be a bench, I take a photo of it!

Bench on child's ship

This was in the Bremerton Naval Museum upstairs. I couldn't residt taking a photo of it and wished I had a small grandchild to be there sitting on that bench! Unfortunately, the grandchild that was with my son and I was 17!
