Frank......It seems that the poster I sent you must not be large enough. I could send you a full size one that is so much easier to ship then the boat in exchange for a certain flag.

Ray;
What a fitting name! I like it! I now the photo of PT 624 you speak of. too bad we can't find out what happened to her or PT 624 after they entered civilian use.
I have found a website of interest though :
http://www.internationallegendsofdiving.com/FeaturedLegends/Jordan_Klein_bio.htm
This guy was the Underwater Cinematographer and lead dive coordinator for such movies as Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Never Say Never Again, Etc.
Notice 80' PT dive boat called "MAKO". I wonder what boat this really was, it looks like an ELCO with portholes installed, or could this be PT 617, which when found, was found in the Bahamas as a dive boat. Any clues?????
Take care,
TED

I am trying to find the document's Chuck Marshall sent me regarding the cancelled boat orders. It may be down stairs and I will have to scan. I thought the 617 was in FL according to Barnes (who is originally from Gloucester where I am from) the guy Mr Newbury bought her from. other than being worm eaten she was not altered very much as you can see in the photo.
