The USS Tarawa comes to Town
May.10, 2008 in
Hobart Port and Waterfront
Visiting Hobart for three days from today is the USS Tarawa, an amphibious assault ship.
From the domain Cenotaph
From the Lookout at the Springs on Mt Wellington. Gives you an idea of the size of the harbor that you can hardly see the ship at all. In 1978 the USS Enterprise was anchored in the Harbor

Nice shot! I always found this big ships to be quite interesting structures.

[...] this picture as lots of people were walking on the domain near the cenotaph to have a look at the USS Tarawa docked at Macquarie Wharf but then i realised there was also a group of people instead looking straight up which seemed odd. [...]
