[StartQuote] Hey rcr, Do you have inside knowledge about when those boats were stationed at Halifax, Nova Scotia used as an Air Sea Rescue Craft? Do you have anything wriiten, or photos? Do you have any names of people who may remember seeing her there? I would love to see it for my own interests as well. That is outstanding if you have that info. I think the root cause for the inaccurate information about PT3 is because the book At Close Quarters lists it as such and also the Shipbuilding Industries chart by Colton Industries lists it as MTB273. So does the Haze Grey website PT Boat List [url]http://www.hazegray.org/navhist/pt/list.htm[/url] (58' Fisher Boat Works) PT3 PT4 Placed in service July 24, 1940. Transferred under lend-lease to Britain, April 19, 1941. Here is a copy of the chart on Colton industries listing it as well [url]http://www.shipbuildinghistory.com[/url] Then click on "U.S. Navy Boats and Craft - 48 tables" Then click on "Torpedo Boats (PT, BPT) during WWII" Here is a copy of the chart: Type # Shipbuilder Location Length FY Delivery Disposition PT 1 Fogal Boats Miami FL 59 38 Nov-41 Prototype, later C 6083, used for training at Melville RI PT 2 Fogal Boats Miami FL 59 38 Nov-41 Prototype, later C 6084, used as service launch at Newport RI PT 3 Fisher Boatworks Detroit MI 59 38 Jun-40 Prototype, to Britain 1941 as MTB 273 PT 4 Fisher Boatworks Detroit MI 59 38 Jun-40 Prototype, to Britain 1941 as MTB 274 PT 5 Higgins Industries New Orleans LA 81 38 Mar-41 Prototype, to Britain 1941 as MTB 269 PT 6 Higgins Industries New Orleans LA 81 38 Feb-41 Prototype, to Britain 1941 as MTB 270 PT 6 Higgins Industries New Orleans LA 54 38 Aug-40 Prototype, to Britain 1941 as MGB 68 PT 7 Philadelphia NSY Philadelphia PA 81 38 Apr-41 Prototype (aluminum), to Britain 1941 as MTB 271 PT 8 Philadelphia NSY Philadelphia PA 81 38 Apr-41 Prototype (aluminum), intended for Britain 1941 as MTB 272 but retained as YP 110 PT 9 Scott-Paine U.K 70 38 Jun-40 Prototype, to Britain 1940 as MTB 258 Thanks for the information!.
