Author	Topic: Freedom 7 USS Lake Champlain recovery photos
Captain Apollo Member Posts: 260 From: UK Registered: Jun 2004	posted 06-30-2013 06:05 PM Someone on Reddit has just posted these images. He says he got them from his grandfather. They include some remarkable pictures of Alan Shepard and the recovery of Freedom 7 that I've not seen before.
