MUSEUM MOORING THOUGHTS
for USS Kawishiwi AO-146 Project
ELLIOTT BAY, Seattle, WA

● Plans of the area by the Seattle Port Authority are not known
● The 1st mooring thought was Pier 91
● Odyssey Meritime Museum would like a ship a pier 66
● Jack Block Park by Duwamish Water Way  looks very good.


PIER 91



WATER FRONT


PIER 70 -  Now she would really stand out here at this new park area,
and you could easily see her from the Space Needle.
There are two ways she could be moored. Would the Water Front Restaurant go for it?


PIER 66 -  we might get her in ?


The old pier is in the way.  What is planned for the old pier?
How deep is the area?  Can a diver swim under ship at low tide, with central tanks full of water or fuel?
                  

Duwamish Area - Location 1, at Jack Block Park could work well.
See Power Point Show


Duwamish "Site 1"  JACK BLOCK PARK


Duwamish "Site 2"  WALK-ON-FERRY Kawishiwi could be located near the ferry to downtown. The museum could be used well here. This would have to studied very well.

-------------------------------------------------

Duwamish "Site 3"  DUWAMISH HEAD
Here Kawishiwi would be attracted to everyone, from all directions.
If HOMELAND SECURITY were aboard they would have the best spot on the bay
for observing every day action.
A 5in. 38 and a quad 3in. 50 could be mounted for looks.
GETTING REALLY SERIOUS, A WORKING MK15 PHALANX COULD BE MOUNTED
JUST BEHIND THE STACK. 

Here is the range a MK-15 might cover
