Posted by Ron Carlson on October 22, 2007, 10:02 am, in reply to "Re: Information about my grandfather" As Fran Kent said in his response to you, the ship on which your grandfather served was not the USS Nathan Townson but more than likely was named the SS Nathan Towson. (USS denotes a U.S. Navy warship, which most Liberty ships were not; SS denotes "steam ship" meaning a merchant (cargo) vessel, which is what Liberty ships were.) I am sending a separate and more detailed message to your e-mail address with further information about the Nathan Towson. Ron Carlson, Webmaster |
