[StartQuote] Pat; Here is ESSO Manhattan [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Ted%20Walther/ESSO%20MANHATTAN%20ENROUTE%20TO%20BRISBANE%201943.png[/image] [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Ted%20Walther/PT%20Tanker_Esso_Manhattan_underway_with_PT_boats_in_1943.jpg[/image] En route to Brisbane July-Sept 1943 with 7 PT boats on deck. I cannot confirm yet but I think these are RON 21 boats, the time frame fits. On October 21, 1944, ESSO Manhattan carried RON 37 Boats out(PT 533, 534, 535, 536, 537, 538, 539, 540) from Panama to Espirito Santo, off loaded the boats, then continued on to Finschhafen, New Guinea. Take care, TED P.S. ESSO Richmond carried RON 27 boats from Panama to Tulagi. ESSO Norfolk carried RON 33 boats from Panama to Morobe. I still have yet to figure out who ESSO Pittsburgh carried out , but I think it might be RON 25 or RON 28 boats. [EndQuote]
