Go over to Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/) and go to Groups.  Do a search for Submarine.  I found several hundred pictures there in several groups.  There were a lot of the museum boats there.  Drum had a lot.  I'm setting up my account to post all the pictures I can get for the USS Picuda for my website.  So far I only have 10 photos posted.

But it could be a good source for you to find photos that you do not have.

I will do that as a last resort.  I'm not going to take any photos without the owner's permission, which was why I didn't just search the internet for what I wanted.  People go crazy over the ownership of their photos.

You post on Flickr with the understanding that what you post is public.  Besides a simple e-mail and most people would be willing to share for a worthy cause such as yours.

Yep, I've been searching over Flickr for some photos to use.  I've found some good ones.  Many Flickr photos DO have some type of copyright associated with them, but so far upon contact with their owners I've received the go-ahead to use them.

Lance,
Just take some of them from my blog. I already got permission from the people who took the pictures.
Also, we have a cd from the reunion that has all of the "dolphin" pictures from the dedication to deactivation.

My eyes hurt.

On average and where I have the choice, I'm going to put 10 to 20 photos of each boat.  There are still a few boats that I have very few GOOD photos of and can't find any, but oh well I can only work with what I have and can get.

Looks like this presentation is going to be a good 30 minutes long.  Just photos.  Wow.

Did Marlin always have a sail or was she one of the GUPPY candidates?  Interesting design.  I'd be interested in seeing more external and internal pictures of her.

built in 1950, no alteration to the sail that I know of.  Here is a picture of her when launched.  Sail looks the same.

I thought this was the original Marlin sub of Marlin/Mackerel fame from the late 30's/early 40's.  My bad.

that was a different boat the SS-205 a Mackerel class boat built in the 1940's. It was sold for scrap in 1946. The SS-205 operated mostly off the New England coast and never had any war patrols that I am aware of.  Mostly training and escort duties

Yeah.  I knew the original was a training vessel.  We have an old salt at our museum that served on the Mackerel.  He has a lot of neat stories about those two boats.

So, what class of boat is the 1950's version supposed to be?

Well, so far I have about 32 minutes of photos.  Does anyone have sound effects or music recommendations?
