[StartQuote] Jerry; There are a few, but most are "they were disposed of" stories. Such as CAPT ANDERSON Vlll, which was Ex PT 601, this was supposedly hauled up on the beach in Tampa or Panama City and disposed of in the late 80's or early 90's. I also knew of what looked like a 78' Higgins in Panama, that ran tourists and supplies to Taboga. I last saw her in 2003. No Clue what happened to her. 78' Higgins PT Named DONA moored at Balboa Yacht Club 1998. The one I am interested in but, I really have no clue about is PT 40, she was named Flamingo ll (possibly NIKKO II) and worked in Miami with PT 48(which was named Flamingo l). both were owned by Nikko tours and worked out of Haulover Marina, Miami. The last I know of her is around 1976. However, a certain Key West business man (who once owned PT 728), mentioned in a symposium at the Nimitz Museum in 1997, that PT 40 and PT 48 and PT 140 were still around.
PT 40 on the job as NIKKO ll
PT 48 on the job as FLAMINGO I, 1980.
PT 48 as Nikko tour boat FLAMINGO I, with NIKKO IV(might be another 80 ELCO, maybe 140??) moored next to her. (in a photo dated 28 SEPT 1983, Miami.(This is a George Schneider photo). I also believe this company owned one of the RON 4 80' ELCO's and they have a boat last registered in 1989 named NIKKO (USCG Doc # 273735), that was listed as built in 1944, 500 series(505 1/44, 545 8/44). Take care, TED [EndQuote]
