Science and Technology Museum continued:

 

            I went to the next room of the James Bond exhibit and photographed various gadgets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            I photographed a bar where one could test their ability to hang on for a certain amount of time. I couldn’t do it for the time they suggested.

 

 

 

            I photographed a few vehicles and a cello case used in the James Bond movies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            I photographed one more exhibit.

 

 

 

 

            I photographed an exhibit on jet packs.

 

 

 

 

            I then left the James Bond exhibit. As with my trip in 2012, I then photographed an HO scale layout that duplicated Seattle, Chicago, and the Midwestern plains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            I then photographed what looked like a vintage streetcar.

 

 

            I then went back to photographing the model railroad layout.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            I then went upstairs and took a few more photos.

 

 

 

 

            I then took some photos of the United Airlines Boeing 727 on display in the museum.

 

 

 

 

D.B. Cooper jumped from a similar set of stairs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            I photographed a few more exhibits

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            I then photographed former New York Central steam locomotive #999.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            I photographed a few more exhibits including one on stagecoaches and about the United States’ involvement in World War 2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            I then photographed the captured German submarine U-505 which is on display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

            I saw some posters telling the story of how the sub was captured and even played a video game simulating was it was like to control a U-boat. At one point, I decided to go past the sub’s crush depth thinking of the Titan submersible that was lost the year before at the location of the wreck of the Titanic.

 

            I took a few more photos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            I then went to a space exhibit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            I photographed some model ships.

 

 

 

 

 

            I then photographed a few cars on display.

 

 

 

 

 

            I noticed it was around 4:00 pm. I wasn’t quite done yet.
