When I was a young sailor I was attached to the presidential yacht (Kennedy) . We had a aluminum PT boat, used as a chase boat, I wish I could remember the hull number. It had 8 diesel engines 2 per screw. It was eventually given hull number 109 which was not it's true number but I suppose nostalgic for JFK. I believe the boat was the same design as original PT's but did have an aluminum hull.
This PT Splinter thanks you for posting this ( and others ) video. I have a much better appreciation and understanding of the boats and my F-I-L's experiences. Hope to visit you someday.
Hello Mr. Gilmartin my name is Ian Harrington and my grandfather Leroy Harrington served on pt 210. I found this video via a thread on a website and wondered if you had any info on the crew of the 210. If there are any surviving members of the crew I'd love to track them down.
