S-49 as a civilian exhibit

S-49 clung to life after decommissioning in 1930, ending up as a traveling exhibit in civilian hands. She is seen here in her civilian guise, 1936. The "C" on the bow is the submarine's name! Owner Francis J. Chrestensen had the vessel registered as a "Yacht" to be able to take it to Canada since there was a treaty between the U.S. and Canada not to bring war ships into the Great Lakes. PigBoats.COM has a host of pictures of her in the era, please click click on this link for these pictures.
