Great War truck Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Reading through these threads it is always very sad to see so many interesting ships being lost or destroyed. Here is one with a difference as it relates to the succesful restoration of a US PT Boat by 12 WW2 veterans. Sadly half of them died before the restoration was completed. The project is explained on this link here. Well worth watching.
