It’s a quiet night at sea in this part of the world . Native fishermen are doing their thing . Suddenly ! The sky starts to shimmer .It gets like a rainbow of greys coupled with the fading sunlight .A large grey object is forming in the mist .
The fishermen paddle as fast as they can .The sea around the coast of Virginia is usually very calm . Except for the settlers shooting at the soldiers in the " lobster coats " , as the chief calls them !
Maybe they should shoot at the " Lobster Coats too ?" , No they will wait to see what the strangers and settlers do next. Boooom ! the sound rebounds off the shore and the British commander at the bay mouth garrison is so shocked at what he sees he dampens his trousers .
My gosh ! what did he see . Well there’s a island sized object floating in the harbor here near YorkTown .The name he sees after she swings to starboard is The " Midway " What are those strange contrivances on her funny flat deck .They rise like birds but with a heckuva a lot more racket !
And she has no sails . What devils brew is this ? Have the French given the rebels a secret weapon ?
We’ll see in part two of the Midway at Yorktown .Faaaade to White . "Honey , are you going to build that model of the " Midway " or sit and daydream ? " That from his patient wife of twenty-five years . Ha ! LOL.LOL.LOL.
