USS Kidd (DD-661), a Fletcher-class destroyer, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named after Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd, who died on the bridge of his flagship USS Arizona during the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Paddlewheeler Creole Queen is unfortunately not an original steamboat. Constructed in Moss Point, Mississippi, the ship took its maiden voyage in 1983, so it was quite new in 1986. The Crescent City Connection bridge, called CCC, spans over the Mississippi River, connecting downtown New Orleans to the Westbank. In the past, the CCC was known as the Greater New Orleans Bridge, and it carries US Highway 90 over the Mississippi. Total length is 4093 m, opened 1958. scanned slide Minolta X700, Fujichrome100
