On Tuesday, April 25, a “human battleship” tournament was held in the Bill Powell Natatorium in the Raymond B. Preston Health and Activities Center. The event was made up of nine battle-hardened teams ready to sink their opponent’s boats. The objective was for teams to sink their opponents’ boat without sinking their own. See what Talisman photographer Preston Jenkins captured.
