All;
I came across this hand full of acceptance photos, I would like to find some more individual boat photos like this, but I guess they didn't survive. ENJOY!
Take care,
TED

I went through the 19-LCM files for PTs a few years back... didn't scan everything but grabbed a good amount. Curiously, there seemed to be more photos like this from Higgins than Elco. Many, many, MANY gaps.

It's possible there would be more in the BuShips general correspondence files, but based on records for other ships and classes I've seen, probably not a lot.
