Hanging from the ceiling of MOHAI in Seattle is a hydroplane, Slo-Mo-Shun IV. According to the museum information, this boat brought innovative design concepts to hulls that continue to be relevant to current boats. It is quite a striking looking boat and will have been cool to see in action. August in Seattle is Seafair time so the latest generation of boats will be competing, but this one is now preserved in pristine condition.
At the bottom end of Lake Union is the Museum of History and Industry. It is located in a building that used to be a Navy facility. I think the Navy had a building spree in a short time as a lot of their building have a similar architectural style. The buildings on Treasure Island in San Francisco that I covered previously here seem to have some similar styles.
The museum looks to have some interesting exhibits but, we were there on a sunny day and enjoying the outside. I shall return to check things out on a more rainy day. Do they have those here?
