On my last two trips to Fort Drum I have spent part of the time looking around the semi flooded areas aft of Battery Wilson. Cursed with a Sony touchscreen waterproof camera which constantly entered the menu mode (so changing all the settings and turning the flash off) my attempts at taking pictures verged on failure. This was not helped by the LiLo barely keeping me afloat:

The boat aka SM toy section LiLo / airbed.

The Engineers Office - of course I was not the first person as the ceiling shows. Ah, the enterprising Filipino.

I love this window (porthole ?) - from the aft plotting room. This is the difference between seeing plans and reality:

Keeping the imagination under control while floating in the dark.

The Heads, an unchanging design

On the second trip I returned better prepared with the "Explorer Two", again from SM Toy Section and previously used in the Mariveles Navy tunnels.

Various engine room parts

The Engineer's Office

Again, what is not seen in the plans - hatch from engineers office looking out onto main machinery space.
