Vi skulle igennem mere
tovtrækkeri med det førnævnte
forsikringsselskab i dag, så det blev så som så med
adspredelserne. Vi var oppe og ta' billeder af
"gernings-stedet" og skulle fax'e hist og pist, men vi fik
da tid til at holde lidt langfredag, og gik os en fredelig tur
på Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. |
Because of more tug-a-wars with
the aforementioned insurance
company, the entertainment aspect of today was severely diminished.
We took photos of the "scene of the crime" and had to fax
stuff around, but we did have time to honor Good Friday and to take a
peaceful walk through Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. |

Fredag morgen den 21. juli, 1905
lå kanonbåden U.S.S. Bennington for anker i San Diego
havn. Klokken 10:38 afbrød et øredøvende brag
formiddagens fred, da to af kedlerne på skibet eksploderede og
dræbte 62 og skoldede yderligere 40 mennesker.
Denne stenstøtte
står til minde om de dræbte, hvis gravsten står
omkring den. USS Bennington Monumentet er knap tyve meter højt
og blev rejst i 1908. |
Friday morning on July 21, 1905
the gunship U.S.S. Bennington was anchored in the San Diego harbor.
At 10:38 am an earshattering boom interrupted the peaceful morning,
when two of the ship's boilers exploded, killing 62 and scalding 40 people.
This stone obelisk stands here
in memory of the dead, whose gravestones surround it. The USS
Bennington Monument is sixty feet tall and was erected in 1908. |
