Welcome aboard. There are many members of this blog with ties to PT 155 so if it is information about PT-155 you are after ...hold on.

I researched PT-154 at the National Archives. I would take the once-an-hour shuttle from the main National Archives building in downtown DC to the College Park center. You may drive there directly.

Once inside you must unload all you belongings into lockers in the basement. You may keep a computer, camera, and scanner but they will need to be registered at the main desk.

New researchers will need to go to an office right nearby to register themselves and take a short training to receive a researcher card (good for one year).

With your card (camera computer and scanner) you take the elevator to the documents room and check in. Find a table or a cart to unload and go to the back-left researcher's office. Find the staff person who is an expert with the military records.

I found the people assisting novice researchers to be very helpful. They will help you to locate the boxes that have the Deck Logs for PT-155.

The photograph I have of the Deck Log of PT-155 covers the names of the people who reported during 1943. Your grandfather is not on this list. This may also mean he joined the crew in 1944 (or he was on another boat).

There are several people on this blog that can can help you find more information about your grandfather. This organization was started by a crew member from PT-155.
