[StartQuote] I'm the author of EPIC VOYAGE:The Greatest PT Boat Story Never Told-PT59 And Her Two Skippers. I feel PT 59 is still there where she was last moored...waiting for someone to care. She is there...fairly intact yet I can't on my own resurrect her.But from these photos and maps it is easy to see her...mistaken for a barge by untrained eyes, there she lays. If you can bring up a Viking ship and restore her, then you can have PT 59 back. If you can raise a Elizabethan ship and restore her then there is your ultimate glory. If a state or country cares enough about the past...then she can be raised and restored.There is no shame in this endeavor...only that we care enough to do something...anything...the right thing. I've tried to get the Kennedy Library involved but as part of the National Archives...they can only accept donations. They can't pay for it but they would accept it. We must come together and organize into a group and use every avenue to save our heritage, what is to my mind a national treasure.If I captured everyone whoever posted to this forum (which I treasure) and said this is the one project where we could all come together and organize and we each pledge $25 dollars, we could raise her. If you care I will propose we all become The Armed and Dangerous PT Boat Preservation Group..we could do great things...not only for us but for our children and our grandchildren and those who come after us. My book is a .99 cent e-book on Amazon but I would pledge everything I earn to this project. I need everyone to be with me on this! Thank you for this highly personal post.I hope and know I will be understood! [EndQuote]
