No sweat--I'm glad to contribute in any small way about the history of the boats. As far as the bandwith, I hope to transfer everything to a better website host this summer. It all depends on who has the most economical (e.g., cheap) plan. Free is good, but as the site gets bigger, I'm quickly finding what my limitations are...

Thank You Dick,
Now that is a good shot of 38 with the unusual depth charge set up.
I Remember Gene mentioning having this shot of PT-38 several posts back but was unable to find this shot when I went on his website.
You are correct on Gene's website, it is well written, very informative and has been on my favorites list for almost two years.
Thank you again,
Wayne Traxel |

In going thru some of my PT BOAT ARTIFACTS today, I came across one of my SKEETER NEWSPAPERS from December 14, 1944. In scanning thru the photo's shown from the MTBSTC, it shows the barge off-loading one of the 77 Footers. The caption reads, Several Melvillites welcome their old boat, where she returned from her pacific Duties. The boat is is the cradle and is being loaded onto the Main Pier. The large caption on top of the photo says "PT 40 HOME AGAIN"

You might try using multiply.com for your new website. It's free and you can put tons of stuff on it. Or, what's so bad with photobucket? Both are primarily oriented to display of photos, but multiply has more flexibility with narrative, links, etc, even music! Might be cool to listen to the roar of Packards while viewing photo albums, if you could get a good track!
Might be worth it to experiment. Good luck! |
