D.C. trip part 4

We went to the American History museum. We saw the Gunboat Philadelphia. That was really cool since it was a wooden boat with real cannons and stuff. It was like our Lego pirate boat except with only one mast. It had 3 cannons and 8 swivel guns. It was sunken by a british ship. A 24 pound bar shot sank it.

I also saw the Star Spangled Banner. The first American flag. It was much bigger than I imagined.
