I'm searching for info on my father's service aboard the SS Cape Georgia (sailed from Pier 53 in San Francisco June 1943). My father was wounded and lost his fingers out in the area of the Marshall Islands. He was transferred to the SS Typhoon and eventually made his way to Hawaii, then Oakland, then Santa Cruz for rest and recuperation at the Casa del Rey Hotel. I'm interested in anyone who may know what happened in the accident that caused him to loose his fingers. The date of the mishap was Feb 12, 1944.
