Coming Monday 1/7/2008 - Maritime Matters Takes a Different Tack

January 4th, 2008 by xformed

I know it’s not Monday yet, but I am about finished with a book loaned to me that tells a remarkable story worth passing along.

Consider the connections between a pending two ocean war, a small navy, old time craftsmen, a man with incredible foresight and perseverance, and a location far from the ocean that took on a challenge and did fine by the men who sailed into harm’s way.

Some of you may know of the story, but I’m going enjoy sharing what I found out, thanks to a WWII veteran’s widow, kind enough to share some family items with me.

Come back Monday the 7th to find out what I’m talking about.
