Great line: "Rust in Peace"


Could this have been a PT boat if it was rusting? Somehow or another I

Nope - they were built of plywood. I know they found the wreck a few
years ago, but I've got to believe it's not all that intact after
sixty plus years in the South Pacific waters.


Double planked Mahogany according to this site:
