[StartQuote] Ted has mentioned before on this message board he has access to several color photos of PT 61 during the war, tied up next to an unknown 80' Elco that he believes may be the 109. I think Ted has mentioned he believes the color photos of the 61 may have been taken in the Russells or at Rendova, possibly at the same time as the one on page 89 of Robert Ballard's book "Collision With History - The Search for John F. Kennedy's PT 109" (which is captioned as "A view taken from PT 109..."). The 61 was the 77' Elco tied up to port of the 109 in those famous "JFK in the cockpit" photos we've all seen for years, pretty much proven by that photo of the 61 in Ballard's book, which was almost certainly taken from the 109's foredeck. That photo should be interesting for fans of the 109, as it shows the 109's port depth charge VERY close ahead of the port forward torpedo tube, not way up forward along the toe rails as usually sketched/drawn/modeled.
