[StartQuote] Frank, My fathers boat (PT-154) went from the Elco trials to the Brooklyn Navy Yard (Pier G and later Pier J) From there it moved to a floating crane (2 Dec 1942) and was docked in a cradle (3 Dec 1942). The floating crane brought the cradled boat to the USS White Plains which was at Pier 62 in New York City and loaded her aboard (8 Dec 1942). While the White Plains was moored, the deck log used the term 'docked in cradle'. The White Plains stayed at Pier 62 until it left for Panama (22 Dec 1942). From then ... until it was unloaded in Panama it was listed as 'secured in cradle'.

I don't think it snowed much in Panama, Noumea, Tulagi, and the Phillipines. natsmith[EndQuote]
