ť Topic: Took a drive to Bayonne

77 years ago my Great Uncles PT boat was completed August 1943. In memory of him and his PT boat I took a Sunday Drive to visit the Elco crane in Bayonne. Here are some of the pictures I took that day.

Thanks, the crane looks to still be in pretty good shape.

Very neat . Thank you for posting the pictures. Now that would make for an interesting model. Who is going to try first?

The Elco Crane was made into a model by my good friend Stan Pienkowkski for my PT BOAT EXHIBIT. I have enclosed several photos of the crane. After research it should be noted that the crane during the war was not yellow but grey
