Marie's Postcards Collection: New Orleans Ocean Going Ship Dock





Marie's Postcard Collection:  This says:  Ocean Goings Ships At Dock, New Orleans, La.   In January 1965 the ocean going ship, USS NEWPORT NEWS, that I arrived on was parked there.  There was also a HMS (British) ship there.  The purpose of the two ships  were to  reenact The Battle of New Orleans, in the War of 1812.  How did it come out?  I have no idea.  As soon as the ship docked, I hit docks running and didn't return for 2 or 3 days just before the USS NEWPORT NEWS shipped off.
