Thanks for bringing us along for the boat ride Harrison! I'm kind of a ship guy myself so I enjoyed looking at the various vessels you spotted along the way. I loved the look at those two beautiful schooners berthed dockside! The bunker tour was interesting. For those who don't know that's an old US Coast Artillery fort. There used to be string of them up and down both East and West Coasts at one time guarding the major harbors and equipped with 12 and 14 inch battleship-type guns to fight off invasions. All those rooms you went through would have been barracks, kitchens, ammunition magazines, communication and plot rooms for the big guns. Post-World War Two the Coast Artillery was disbanded as there were no more potential adversarys with major fleets for the US to be concerned with and all the equipment in the forts was removed and the forts left to nature. Amtrak 46 was interesting and apparently it was idling, I could hear the engine turning over. And 90213? Saying the number military communication style would indeed be "Nine-zero-two-one-three!" A fun video! Thanks!
Very interesting, Harrison, as usual. Thanks for posting. One of my younger brothers is, or was, an enthusiastic spelunker. I've enjoyed visiting Luray Caverns in VA and Howe Caverns in NY, but basically don't like going into dark, narrow spaces. Steve Wagner
@@NorthCountryTrains You know, I tried "Moxie" when I was up there in the 80's. As a military history sidebar WW1 doughboys said the really tough guys "Had a lot of Moxie!" so naturally I was curious. It was interesting, to say the least. It tasted a bit like carbonated coffee and was pretty good ice cold but as soon as it warmed up? Well let's say I don't "Have a lot of Moxie!" On the other hand the local blend of Coca-Cola was the best I've ever had!
@@NorthCountryTrains It's not located on the NH side of the Piscataqua River. It's located on the Maine side. "You can't get there from here, Chummy". Only from Maine can you get there lol.

Thanks for the interesting info!
@@NorthCountryTrains You're welcome! As I'm sure you've guessed military history is another interest of mine!

That was a very cool video experience! (Dave).
It's a felony crime in Maine not to like ships considering Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and Maine Maritime Academy lol.
When the Portsmouth is NH but Kittery is across so it’s basically Maine
As I understand it not liking lobster or "Red Snappers" is a felony in Maine as well!
