[StartQuote] Arjan; Some years ago I started a list titled PTs Transported via Ship. RON 34 boats were transported to the UK several ships according to the RON 34 War Diary. RON 34: 26 April 1944: DIVISION A was divided up between 3 ships, DIV A Group A (PT 498, PT 499) hoisted aboard SS BENJAMIN HOYT. DIV A GROUP B (PT 500, PT 502) hoisted aboard SS BILLY SUNDAY. DIV A Group C (PT 501, PT 503) hoisted aboard SS CYRUS T. BRADY, they departed with a convoy on 1 May 1944. 3 May 1944: DIVISION B was divided into two groups, DIV B Group A (PT 504, PT 505, PT 508, and PT 509) was hoisted aboard SS MCCELLAND CREEK, and the DIV B Group B (PT 506 and PT 507) was hoisted aboard SS BILLY MITCHELL. They arrived in Liverpool on 14 May 1944, and off DIV B Group A was loaded at Langham Docks. PT 501 and PT 503 on SS CYRUS T. BRADY, arrived a few days earlier and were already in the water moored in Liverpool. 16 MAY 1944; SS BILLY SUNDAY offloaded DIV A Grp B (PT 500 and PT 502) at Prince’s Dock Glasgow, Scotland. 17 MAY SS BENJAMIN HOYT off loaded and DIV A Grp A (PT 498 and PT 499) were waterborne and moored at Gladstone Dock, Liverpool. 1600 23 MAY 1944 all RON 34 Boats are moored to East Pens HM Dockyard Portland England.
