Memorial plaque to first plane landing on a ship. Williamsburg, Iowa - First Aircraft Landing on a Ship

Small memorial plaque dedicated to Eugene Ely, the first pilot to take off and land on a ship in 1910. Located in the town square, nice side trip after visiting the outlet mall. There is a nice park in the square to relax in. [cory lenger, 11/20/2008]
