While in Sebastian we learned that the Navy Seal museum was located nearby so we visited it one day.  It’s also the training center where G.I. Jane was filmed, but of course we didn’t get to see that part of the base.

The museum was interesting, with lots of displays and items from the history of the Seals.  A recent display was the actual escape pod used by Captain Phillips when his ship was boarded by pirates and he was forced to go into the escape pod with the pirates and was rescued by Navy Seals.  Tom Hanks played Captain Phillips in the recent movie, which we saw and really liked (it’s pretty bloody though, especially the end where the Seals rescue him!)

We also saw another movie just a few days ago about Navy Seals – “The Lone Survivor” with Mark Wahlberg.  Also a really good movie!

Here are some pictures we took at the museum:
