Cool places to go - Battleship Missouri

Went on a tour of the Battleship Missouri, which is docked in Peral Harbor now, and what is cool is the deck is made of Teak!  Never thought about it before but the deck is made of wood so it would not be as hot as metal, and it doesnt rust.

Below is a pic of the deck where the wood is still original to the ship from the early 40's



Here is where they are restoring the deck with new teak


The process they are using...



The Teak Shop right on the dock where they are milling the wood




The tour around the ship was awesome and it was nice to see the effort they are putting toward restoring the wooden deck of the ship
