I know I would like a set of relaxed crew members. A sailor sitting in the turret with his arms draped over the depression rails, that sort of thing. Be sure to write them. Hopefully this will get some traction.

Tracy that clip would be perfect, shows a real slice of life aboard the boat perfectly.
At rest but ready.

Nice HD video Tracy, thank you for sharing that and the other clip.
Anyone that watchs make sure the player is set to HD by clicking the little gear at the bottom right of the screen.

The other video Jeff mentioned is here - I finished editing it and started the upload close to 11PM and just went to bed after that. Great ideas for diorama builders!

Tracy;
I sure hope C.J. watches this second video, since his boat is in it, PT 242
This was filmed at Bau Island.
Take care,
TED

Tracy, how hard would it be to take this Video and put a music underlay throughout the whole piece.

Ted: According to Mr. Raney's diary we got these two engines on January 22, 1944 at Rendova. I recognize some of the crew. Mr. McLane , the skipper of 242, is the guy in the long pants. That curly headed kid looking down in the engine room may be me. I can't see my face and don't remember.. Three of the motormacs are Meyers, Trosclair and Cooper. On January 27th just 3 days after we got these engines, half of the crew went on R&R to New Zealand for 2 weeks. My name was not drawn out of the hat so my half of the crew stayed with the boat and scrapped, cleaned and painted the bottom while in dry dock. We also mounted two twin fifties deck mounted just in front of the chart house so we would have more fire power for barges..

Not hard - I just didn't have any good royalty-free music. Anyone know of a royalty free copy of "Anchors Aweigh?
C J - that matches the notes on the file - listed as 1-22 to 1-28.
I've found some more that I'll try and post in the next couple of days or week - holidays and work are going to keep me busy though.

Next!
PT boat operations - loading torpedoes, checking props, etc., in a floating drydock. Milne Bay, July 1943. PT-135 "SNAFU" chart house art. ELCO engine removal.
And another - this one has more cruising in it with PTs 167 and 174 identifiable. Frank - I experimented with some music in this one. Found two different copies of Anchors Aweigh that were Royalty Free or from the US Navy direct. Let me know what you think. I honestly find a lot of the music put to videos like this annoying and distracting and mute it, but if the preponderance of viewers prefers otherwise then I can add it fairly easily.
