Caiman Video Log
Now you can say you've really seen it all! Here are some old videos contributed from some of your shipmates taken at reunions and from their time on Caiman. Some of them came to me in the form of a VHS tape or on a DVD. Of course, all the videos from the Caiman days were made with an 8mm movie camera so there is no sound. If you have any videos that you would like to contribute, please send them my way.
Just click on the video title listed below, and the video will play provided that you have the Flash Player plug-in installed with your browser. If you don't, you should be asked to install it. If not, go to Adobe and get it.
After you click on a video it might take several minutes for the video to load depending on the speed of your connection. After it loads, if you place your cursor over the video, the controls will appear - click on the > and it will play.
If you have any problem in getting the videos to work, send me an email. If you would like to have your own copy of any of the videos (WMV format), please send me an email and I will be glad to send it to you.
