Fort Pierce (Atlantic Coast)

Today Cath, Shep and I went for a field trip over to Fort Pierce. We heard the Navy Seals Museum was worth the outing.
The Navy Seal Symbol


Here you see a model of the Osama bin Laden compound which was in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The Navy SEALs actually made a life sized replica of the compound to practice the raid before it happened.





This lifeboat was the actual one used in the real Captain Phillips hijacking. During this true event, the container ship ‘Maersk Alabama’ was taken over by Somali pirates in April 2009. In the end, Navy Seals snipers killed 3 pirates in this lifeboat freeing Captain Phillips from being held hostage.
