This web site is a work in progress. The
WebMaster was on board in the Spring of 1960 and has tried very hard to get
names of personnel and places accurate. In his age befuddled mind, it
is possible that some time reference, person's name or location has been misslabeled.
Please click on the eMail button at the bottom of this paragraph and forward
ANY corrections or changes that you might wish to recommend. I thank
you in advance. It is okay to just drop a note "HELLO" if
you wish. I strongly encourage ANYONE who was on board Endurance to
say "HELLO".

Sunday afternoon picnic on the fantail. This was half way across the Pacific, Spring of 1960. The Captain had requested permission to pull ahead of the formation. We steamed at one knot faster than the Division and had the picnic while we opened the distance from them. After the picnic the skipper stopped all engines, placed the gunner on the 04 level with an M1 rifle and declared "Swim Call". One of those days that stick in your memory.

This picture was taken when Ron Dailey was on the ship (left Ron Dailey) (right Sanderval). It does not show much of the Endurance but in the background you can see the Implicit 455 and directly behind it is the Fortify 446.
