Blue sea, blue sky full color PT photo

PT 506 hits full throttle

In this rare color photograph, PT 506 accelerates in the open ocean. With her bow riding high over the water and her stern plowing a wide, white wake trailing behind, PT 506 goes full bore on its way.

I have always cherished images like this because they help me envision what my father told me about his most enjoyable moments on the PTs–hitting full throttle in a wide sea with a clear sky above.
