The small main street is filled with cute, quaint, trendy shops.  We enjoyed breakfast in the local coffee shop and then walked to explore the visitor&#8217;s center and various museums.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First museum up was the St. Mary&#8217;s Submarine Museum.  This small two story building is dedicated to preserving the distinguished history of the Submarine Force. History, photos, plaques, models, a firsthand a working periscope, models of torpedoes are on display.  Tracy got a great lesson how a periscope works and Bob enjoyed reliving some projects from his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1946-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1946-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1946-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1946-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1946-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1946-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>St. Mary&#8217;s is the gateway to Cumberland Island and they house the visitor center and museum the Island.

Umm, a bit unsure the steps were worth the visit when we saw the outside of Brackish Beer Company.  Leery we might be joining a family in their living room we stepped in the front door.  The inside was dark was a very cool vibe and surprising quite a few folks sitting around enjoying some beer.  In the end, lots of steps, friendly folks and good beer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1965-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1965-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1965-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1965-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1965-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1965-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1962-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1962-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1962-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1962-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1962-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/threesons.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1962-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new stop for us and it did not disappoint!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9472,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64,63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-east-coast-spring-2024","category-georgia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/threesons.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9430"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/threesons.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/threesons.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/threesons.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/threesons.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9430"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/threesons.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9430\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9476,"href":"https:\/\/threesons.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9430\/revisions\/9476"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/threesons.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/threesons.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/threesons.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/threesons.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
