An Old Picture

My dad gave this and a few others to me a few years ago and now that the scanner has slightly worked I scanned them in. This was in '56, and that is not the Colombus (I spelled it wrong, opps) it is a pirate ship from Fantasyland. I just thought I'd share this peice of history with everyone.

A pirate ship! So what ever happened to it? Did it just disappear? Actually, I'm a little lost as to where it was even located in Fantasyland.

Anyhow, absolutely fabulous picture. Post more if you get the time before school starts again.

Aww, that's the old Chicken of the Sea Restaurant!

I also would love to see more old photos that you may have!

That's right Darren, it was.

As to what happened I think it rotted, I'm not sure. I have the Disneyland USA DVD and it shows it on opening day but I think by the nighttime Disneyland it had gone.

I'll see if I can smuggle some more on.

More, more! That is so neat - with the new Fantasyland I still don't know much about the old one. Looks like more research is needed - I should dig more into that site. I'd never gone far into it and it certainly has some amazing info!

Wow! I love looking at vintage photos of the park. You can really see how Disneyland has progressed over the years, but still it keeps its history somewhat intact.

Looking at that stuff always makes me sad.

I'll never be able to experience those memories again from being a kid there. I'd love to ride Adventures Through Inner Space again. I bought the DVD from atommobiles.com to somewhat experience it again.

I ordered the DVD recently, and am waiting for it to arrive in the mail. I can't wait to see it.

I feel guilty as I was one of the many "slashdotters" that ran up atommobiles.com bandwidth bill into the thousands of dollars. I bought the soundtrack CD he was selling back then to "help" with that.

ATIS is probably my favorite "Yesterland" attraction.

Just to clarify, seeing these makes me sad in a happy way. I love seeing pictures like this. I have some as well somewhere, or my mom does. I should scan them too!
