Mercury Capsule
Mercury capsule of the early 1960s. Aboard the USS Yorktown (CV-10).
The USS Yorktown (CV-10) is one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during World War II for the United States Navy. Launched and commissioned in 1943, she was retired in 1973 and brought across the river from Charleston to serve as a floating museum. The aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10) is located at Patriots Point, together with the destroyer USS Laffey (DD-724) and the submarine USS Clamagore (SS-343). I visited this ship on April 12, 2018.
