48) Port Moselle, Noumea, New Caledonia pt 4

Port Moselle, Noumea, New Caledonia pt 4 (S 22.16.815 E 166.25.963)    
 
                                     
                If there is a maritime museum I will find my way to it and this one did not disappoint.  It was small and had limited items but most of them were of great quality.  They had a pirate display dedicated to the 2nd floor that had a few gems, also.

        

                               
 

 

 

       
                                   
                What would the tropics be without rain?  And, it is that rain that needs to be pumped out of the dinghy every once in a while.  But, if you look closely at the pump technician you’ll notice that there is some new ink on his forearm.  Yes, Bob got tagged with graffiti.  Just kidding.  He really did get a tattoo of a turtle in a style that depicts having sailed across the equator.  Pretty cool.
