The Imperial War Museum-July 14

Walked to the Imperial War Museum southwest of my dorm. This museum is definitely a testosterone-rich place. And it's free. This is a must stop for anyone interested in things military. These are 15-inch guns taken from a WWI British warship. These bad boys could lob a 1,000+ shell 16 miles!
Can you guess what this is? Nope, it is not a diving bell. It's a WWII portable bomb shelter used by the British during the London Blitz.

There is a fabulous Falklands exhibit.

Care to guess why this little boat is significant? You guessed it! The Tamzine was the smallest boat used to transport British troops during WWII's Dunkirk evacuation.
