Photo??... Nope! Mystery SOLVED! |

Email Larry Bissonnette".
Fom Kerry L. Ruth:
Obviously, that photo was taken NOT on or by the Pearl River, nor in the
States. Since I was not there I cannot positively say it was at SEAFLOAT in
Nam, but I'm sure it was.
From Bob Stoner: I don't believe that
PBR's ever operated from SEA FLOAT. All I ever saw were PCF "Swifts". Why don't
you run the photo past John Woody and Lee Wahler who may know.
From
Lee Wahler: Chuck, Here is a Vietnam memory test for you: Do you remember
seeing PBRs at SeaFloat during your time down there? IF they are Mark 1s they
may pre-date your tour?
From Chuck Metzger: Solid anchor was the
designation of the place during my tour Mar 71-Feb 72. Never saw a PBR there,
only Swifts & various heavies, Monitors, Alphas, Zips, etc. I saw a PBR for
the first time up Saigon way during a code run.
From Bob Stoner:
I don't think its SOD. Maybe Nha Be?
From Lee Wahler: Not SOD or
SeaFloat with those big ships in background. I am guessing someplace like Tra
Cu or Vung Tau near mouth of the Saigon River? Maybe new boats just delivered?
Notice gray tarps and gun covers and new looking boxes on barge? That's an MSC
LST in right corner.
From John Woody:
Bob & Lee, That
looks like the end of a shore pier to me. The PBRs are defiantly Mk1s. The ship
behind the LST is a deep draft cargo ship, also MSC probably. There is not
enough of the photo to tell if it is a YRBM or pier. I believe the photo is on
the Saigon River. |
Mystery
Solved by Guy Arrans:
These two pictures that I am sending were
taken mid to late 1966, and were taken from the upper deck of FNB 16, where the
SEALs lived. It is the Pier at NhaBe and while the canvas at the end of the
Pier looks different it is because the wind took the big one off and this is
the replacement. (that was before the whole pier went down in 1967). If you
look at the first "shop" going out the pier you will notice that the pictures
are of the same area including the "green locker". So I think that the
"mystery" is solved. Guy |
