I am a born and raised "conch"(native Key Wester) and at the age of 14 got on board a 110' navy torpedo retriever for the trip..dolphins and flying fish danced in front of the ship as we headed for Dr.Mudd's home after he helped set the broken leg of the assassin,John Wilkes Booth, the murderer of President Lincoln..we spent a weekend at the fort(buildt by the northern forces during the blockade of the south during the Civil War) with my scout troop..Beautiful,quiet,water so clear you can see the sandy bottom..the blues,greens,and aqua hues of the water alone is worth the trip..fish,snorkle,scuba dive in what I consider a paradise...walk the halls of the haunted corridor's...it's a trip you will never forget...a must place to visit if you want to capture the full pleasure of Key West and The Florida Key's!!
