The link Carl posted goes to the album, but I'm not sure why they don't turn up when doing a search for PT Boats.
I'll have to look into it more, but I'm heading out of town for a few days, so it'll have to wait.
Thanks for every bodies help.

Great photos. thanks for sharing. Between your ron 33 photos and mine there are quite a lot. The 495 boat was renamed "Gentleman jim" in honor of James Shaw who was KIA on the 495 boat in July of '44. Seeing "Camp Shaw" was touching. I have contact information for his Great Nephew ( is that a real term?) and would like to pass your link to him with your permission.
Thanks,
Ed

Blake;
Nice photos! You can sure see the deck planking in some of these photos!
It sure is sad to see those photos of PT 66 burning, and from all angles too. Thanks for posting them.
Take care,
TED.

Hey Blake,
Love those pictures. Every time I look at them I see something new. Little details of hardware and what I assume are crew additions such as the locker on the side of the cockpit. Another thing I hadn't seen much of before were details of the floatation ring. At least this one has a rope tied to it and neetly stowed within it. Makes sense. Throw the ring out and haul the person in.
