The massive abandoned submarine base

The incomplete Submarine Shelter Pavlovskoe, formerly known as “secret object no.6,” stands deserted on the coast of Peter the Great Bay in the Primorye Region of Russia. The concrete structure with its semi-circular arches harks back to the times of the Cold War when the Soviet Union and the USA were engaged in a nuclear arms race.

Oro Bay on Anderson Island in the South Puget Sound sits the Ocean City, a 189-foot 50-car ferry built in 1928. Originally steam-powered, it was built for the Reading Railroad. Re-powered with a 1600hp Fairbanks-Morse engine, the ferry was acquired by the State of Virginia in 1950. Captain Tom Palmer, a Pierce County Ferry captain, purchased the ferry in 1984, and hoped it would supplement his current 30-car ferry. From what I can gather, he and his brother brought Ocean City from the East Coast to Puget Sound via the Panama canal, a 7,000 mile, 54-day trip. Word has it the ferry service was taken over by Pierce County, and the Ocean City never got to help out
