The trash collectors. They would take almost anything, and were supposed to take garbage, but would usually dump it into the water. |
Trash boats leaving. This was in Malta. |
Here comes the mail! This was actually taken in the Caribbean, Summer 1969 |
Retrieving the extremely valuable mail! |
Actually, I was fascinated by the water clarity. This is a picture of the port screw of the USS Chewaucan. |
"Helo Unreps". This helicopter is carrying food and other supplies from a supply ship to the TC. |
As soon as the helo is clear, a "charlie working party" of marines and sailors rushes out to carry the boxes below. |
Sometimes the supplies didn't make it. Thank god it wasn't the mail!! |
Moored in Barcelona, Spain. |
Me again, off Sardinia. |
Awaiting the return of the Marines, I believe this was off Sardinia |
"Deck apes", painting the main deck. |
Returning home, back across the Atlantic. Looking from the bow at the Sargasso Sea. |
In the yards at Norfolk, just before I left the TC. We had backed over our stern anchor line and ruined a screw. |
Steve Lawson on the Signal Light. More pictures soon! |
