The PTs in color

Tethered to a Tender

Another striking photograph from the collection shared by Robert Wayne Camp on a Facebook group devoted to the legacy of the PT boats.

While there were no dates or details shared about this photo, it seems that these PTs are lined up next to a PT tender ship awaiting repairs or service. Perhaps one of my fellow PT splinters out there can provide additional information about the location and squadron (Ron) to which these PTs belong.

The high quality of the color photo brings a note of vividness to the PTs and what they carried on their decks. Every new photo I come across expands the range of my knowledge and deepens my appreciation for the Navy’s “Mosquito Fleet” and the remarkable crews that manned them.

With thanks again to Robert Wayne Camp who generously shared a wealth of photos with all of us–a true treasure trove of PT history.
