We visited the USS Midway Aircraft carrier Museum on our trip to San Diego and it was so much fun! My daughter got to earn her Junior Pilot Wings for answering questions on an activity sheet and she loved that. We forgot to take a picture of the anchor (can’t believe we didn’t snap a pic down there!) but it was massive! Each individual chain link weighed over 150 lbs and the anchor was about 20 tons, and there were 2 anchors on the ship.
