Ship Chasers! Follow the USS KIDD through New Orleans

On Tuesday, May 30th, the USS KIDD passed through New Orleans making 10 knots. Four members of the museum staff - Frank Hyler, Olivia Laborde, Orrin Bordelon, and Molly Bahlinger - chased the ship to three spots along the Mississippi River. They called it a night only when they reached the end of the road.

USS KIDD MUSEUM- wondering if a staff member is going to be able to post videos of the work while the USS KIDD (DD-661) is sitting on the dry dock blocks? I have a feeling that that your organization won’t be able to have “ dry dock tours” as the Battleship USS New Jersey ( BB-62) Museum and Memorial is able to do so, due to insurance policies/ costs with the dry dock facility that the USS KIDD (DD-661) is going to be at.

We'll be doing videos. Right now, she's pierside awaiting her turn in the queue for the drydock.

@@nx014: Not sure what you're asking? An announcement of going onto drydock? Or an announcement of drydock tours?
