Thank you for the great graphics, Dick. I had not seen anything like that before. That makes everything very clear! What a wonderful forum.

Just curious, when the Higgins boats received their 40mm mounts, how did that effect the bunk area in the Lazerette. I had heard they added more bracing in this area to allow for the added weight of this cannon and mount. Although I do not have a photo that shows additional bracing, it was related to me by PT-302 Crewmen, Arthur Frongello.

Hey Jerry,
Regarding the Eric Baker graphic, I found it when I was putting together a tribute to my Uncle Harold Wilson for our family. Shortly after I finished it and saved it as a .pdf, my computer crashed and I lost almost all my research - including the original graphic. Luckily my sister sent me the .pdf back, so that is all I have. I would be happy to send it to - but I cannot post it here due to it being a .pdf. If I could get an email for you I would be happy to send you (or anyone else) the entire .pdf.. I did some annotations over the graphic, but that is all I have at this time. Hope this helps.

Jerry - I have google searched for the Eric Baker graphic, but to no avail. I am not sure where I originally found it, but I think this link is for Eric Baker.

Jerry, Dick was able to extract the graphics from my .pdf. Many thanks to him for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway I now have the original .jpg graphic you were asking about, but do not know how to post it here. For a guy who lives in the Silicon Valley I am pretty non-knowledgeable about this stuff.

Thanks Steve,
OK I have seen this, it was published on Tuesday August 9th 2005 in our local Portland Newspaper,"The Oregonian" back in 2005. It was part of an Article By Ted Mahar called "PT Boats: Weapons of War" I think we have this posted to our website in the "News" section as well. I never noticed the name of the artist. Thanks again for posting it.

Your welcome, Jerry.
I guess I did know how to post this after all, but not sure how I did it.
Anyway I am glad you have seen it before. I had never seen any kind of cut-away view like that of the boats. Still hoping to make it up your way someday to see your boat in person.Keep up the good work.
