USS West Point:In Memory ... |
On request of Bill Lee, the "unofficial historian" of the SS AMERICA and author of several of our articles about the ship, who also inspired our "mission" in 2007, we made a short video to commemorate our helicopter flight over the wreck at that time. This video is dedicated to the veterans of the USS West Point ...
Some Comments ...
- Many thank's for the very touching tribute to an extremely
proud ship, and all those who sailed in Her.
I feel honored to have had been a part of the team of shipbuilders who built and brought Her to life back in 1940.

and classmate, Bill Lee.
Your video tribute is lovely - a very thoughtful dignified farewell - and most deserved by the men you have honored -

my limited suggestions.
I cannot thank both of you enough.

a few months aboard her, late `41 / early `42.
Sadly, I`ve never managed to get over there to see the wreck (MoB)
