Re: shipmates & ships ss Millenocket
No problem. By the way, my son is currently in his plebe year at the US Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, NY. First in my family to take the college route. All else in my family took the hard nocks route to become maverick Captains & Chief Engineers. They have a very nice New England style mariner Chapel at the Academy for all faiths and in the alter area is a book under glass and each week a page is turned. It is a large book and has the names of all WW2 Merchant Marine sailors who died in service during the war. I am hoping I am there when the book is open to my grandfather's page so I can take a photograph for the family. Best regards, Kurt
