Great line: "Rust in Peace"

Could this have been a PT boat if it was rusting? Somehow or another I
thought those PT boats were plywood...am I wrong? (again?) :-)

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:http://www.williammaloney.com/Aviati...Boat/index.htm

Yeah, I copied this right from the spec sheet:

"Hull Construction: Double planked Mahogany (NOT plywood) ..."
