| Also
within the Intrepid hangar is the original statue of Iwo Jima. It was created
based on the famous photograph taken by Joe Rosenthal of the flag raising
atop Mount Suribachi February 23, 1945. This nine foot high statue was sculpted
out of plaster over a steel skeleton. You can get to see it here at the
Intrepid in all its glory! |
There
are also many contraptions, replicas and other items which truly give you
an insider's feel. This image of the steering portion of a ship or rather,
boat actually rocks and sways you from side to side. Be careful though,
you may not have the stomach to stand within. |
