PORT ANGELES, Wash. (AP) - The director of the naval Undersea Museum at Keyport has identified a mysterious dome-like structure near Dabob Bay in Jefferson County.
Bill Galvani says it housed a camera used to track Navy torpedo tests in Dabob Bay in the 1960s.
A photo of the site published in The Peninsula Daily News also was identified by Chimacum resident Fred Schubert, a retired weapons test director for the Navy who operated the camera. He says there were three that were replaced by new technology and closed by the end of the 1970s.
