Man, where has the time gone?  Here we are in September and our summer is essentially over.  Kids have all gone back to school and attendance at the museum has taken its typical fall sharp drop-off.

We marked the 10th anniversary of 9/11 with a remembrance ceremony on the pier  adjacent to Nautilus, at which our banners remembering those lost on 9/11 and in the following military operations were unveiled.  Following the ceremony, the banners were placed on display in the museum where they will remain through September 25, please stop by and see them.  Here are some photos to look at how beautiful they came out.

As a matter of note, the museum fared well in the recent tropical storm.  No damage to speak of; just a lot of labor on the part of the crew putting sand bags in place prior to the storm and then removing same after the storm. 

Additionally, numerous exhibits on the museum first floor were moved to the second floor as a precautionary measure to protect them should water get into the museum.  Fortunately this turned out to be precautionary only as no water entered the museum.  Power was off for about 26 hours which meant that the museum fared much better from an electrical power standpoint than did most of the state of Connecticut.

We hope you are all looking forward to the fall season.  Come see us when you can
