Chris-Craft it ain’t!
We had a replica of one of them dock here. I think it was the Pinto Bean one. Talked to the guys who built it and gave them a book with some information they didn't know about, can't remember now. My memory isn't so good.
Don’t worry. John Belushi said So too! In “1941”
That was a great movie. The year I was born. 3 months before Pearl Harbor.
The question was about WW I, not WW II, LOL.
I know that and will never live it down. I do get thrown off when I'm researching the I and II, but I think it was the Lusitania that threw me off. I have gaps in my historical knowledge, of course I'd heard of that ship, but never read much about it. Will it make up for it if I read the wrong book by Barbara Tuchman, Distant Mirror? I guess the bottom line is that i got my fill of reading about the concentration camps in WWII and never cared to read much about wars. See, I'm making excuses for myself.
No the Spanish American War started in Maine (ahem). Can we all pitch in and get you a nice American History book?
Kind of you to offer but I don't read books any more, too hard to concentrate. I read tons of them in the past. Have many nice ones sitting here I'll never get to.
Santa and Ana (the Clawsbys) and the Pinto Beano were the ships that brought Columbus to Ohio. The Alamo car rental came later.
LOL. You got me on that one, can't think of anything catchy to throw back at you.
You people can continue to have fun at my expense; I don't mind. Everybody needs a little levity these dreary days with all the bad news out there.
