Just wait until Pompeii....
Your pictures are wonderful!!!!!!! They do remind me of ruins of that period that we have seen in Jordan and Italy, not to mention those around Greece.

When the place was found once again, the poured a plaster-like substance into the strange shaped holes and when they chipped away the lava, they realized that people had been in those holes were in all sorts of positions fighting off the lava. Anyway.......a great looking ship and facilities!!!! More later.....ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
