Seal Beach Ca & Apollo

Hi all,

I was at Seal Beach recently with one of the engineering guys who helped
build the Seal Beach Facility and I'd like to know and see more about the
involvement of the facilities there as part of the Apollo project.

Does anyone have any pictures of Seal Beach in the 60's when they were
building and testing the S11 Saturn V stage. If not can anyone point me in
the direction of some please

Best Regards & thanks

....There's a few of them he

....They're not that great quality-wise, and some aren't labled as
being taken at Seal Beach, so you'll have to do a little inferring to
figure out which ones aren't.

Thanks OM,

I'd seen those and wondered if any higher resolution images may be out there? I guess people like J L Pickering or Ed Hengeveld may have some?

Thanks for your help OM, much appreciated

all the best

T'anks from SoCal, also -- I drive by the Seal Beach facility and
Skylab Lane pretty regularly.

....I did some more searching, and found nothing else other than some
broken links to a Boenig site. It's a shame, because Seal Beach
contributed greatly to the success of the program. I'd love to see
some good quality shots from those days, as well as those reported
"high-speed" films of the domes being blasted into place.
