everything from specialized diving equipment that Navy men and women use under the sea,  to entire submarines.

Another highlight of the show is a favorite place to dine and hear great music: the Whiskey Creek Steakhouse. The restaurant used to be a bar, and legend has it that the owner at the time, an avid gambler, lost and re-won the establishment several times. Dixieland Jazz has a big following, and on Wednesday nights, patrons are treated to a talented 90-year-old musician who entertains with her trumpet!
