Today was kind of a rainy lazy day, so I put on a light raincoat and took a walk through downtown
Bremerton. I started in
Manette and walked over the
Manette Bridge stopping to watch the construction on the new
Manette Bridge. Then I walked around the boardwalk, parks and through the "artsy" district of downtown. When I worked, my lunch time walk was often around the same downtown route and I saw the progress of the parks and fountains while they were being built.
Construction on the new
Manette Bridge alongside the old bridge.
This is one of the foundations for the towers that will support the bridge. The bridge was closed to vehicle traffic so concrete could be poured in these pipes.
The "jumping fish" fountain. This seems to represent fish jumping upstream. It is
usually pulsed and not continuous flow like in this picture.
The Boardwalk and Marina.
The fountains next to the Ferry Terminal. The designer made this fountain look like sails of a submarine lined up going to sea. It is hard to see, but the water
shoots in the air every couple of minutes.
The Navy Museum. This is Building 50 from Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and was the original administration building.
The sail from the USS
Parche in front of the Navy Museum. And
oops, the building where I used to work in the background.
The new water works/historical park between Pacific Ave and the shipyard fence. It includes the bow from the USS South Carolina. This was completed after I retired.
This sculpture was put up by the city in the in the "artsy" district. Seems that there was some leftover grant money from the construction of the tunnel and parks. This fish has a fishing rod and reel.
And this sculpture is on the opposite corner from the fish. And the fisherman has a lure in his mouth. Go figure!
