Re: marine falcon--liberty ship
My family traveled on the Marine Falcon in the fall of 1948. We arrived in NY around Sept. 16. We were delayed because of hurricanes and had to dip way south to avoid them. I remember it was a rough trip. I remember the dorm style sleeping arrangements. My dad and I were in bunk beds with about 25 other men and boys. I also remember the gun turrets were still there, minus the guns, and I loved to go up into them and sway with the ship on the rough seas.
