The exhibition highlights the fact that although\u00a0New Mexico is landlocked, there are 95 U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine vessels that have been named after noteworthy people and geographic features in this desert state. John Taylor\u2019s book,\u00a0New Mexico\u2019s Navy<\/em>, details these ships, namesakes, images, and histories. Taylor has worked with the Los Lunas Museum of Heritage & Arts to honor these vessels and the men and women that called them home.<\/p>\n

There is a video of a presentation by John Taylor about his book New Mexico\u2019s Navy, on the Los Lunas Museum of Heritage and Arts Facebook page:<\/p>\n
