Forecastle & Anchor Chains
The forward anchor chain room. This is just forward of the enlisted berths. The yellow sign with the 4 is an example of the "tour stop" placards. Note the red tile. Most of the ship's decks are covered with this. When the tile turns green, you've entered "Officer Country". Blue tile is used for the Admiral's command area.
The chain is 1,000 feet long, 130 pounds/link! Holds a 40,000 pound anchor
Experience "life at sea" without leaving port by visiting The USS Midway Museum, San Diego’s newest visitor attraction. This historic naval aircraft carrier museum is a once in a lifetime opportunity for visitors of all ages. Experience what it was like to be part of a “city at sea”, explore galleys, officer’s country, sleeping quarters, and the engine room of the first Navy ship too large for the Panama Canal! You will be amazed by the 4-acre flight deck and the 360 degree panoramic view of downtown San Diego. Visitors enjoy over 60 exhibits, 25 restored aircraft, optional flight simulators, videos, climb-aboard aircraft, outdoor café and gift shop. Admission also includes a self-guided audio tour, featuring USS Midway veterans as narrators.
