Blidgepump's pics of the liberty boats sure brings back some memories, lol! Thanks for that!
That one with the top up especially looks identical to what I rode in many times back in the 1980's. I believe we had three of them, for a crew of about 580. Among the saddest words a sailor can hear are "Liberty boats are secured", usually due to bad weather. You're either on the ship, and your good times are postponed, or you're ashore and headed home with empty pockets (and the usual lack of balance and clear vision, lol) just wanting to pass out in your rack. Ahhh, those were fine times!
