The other day I was at a cousins house and she asked me to haul some old trunks out to the curb that were her dads. I started looking at the stickers and saw this. My guess is he was going back home to visit. I had only heard the name of the ship and looked it up and discovered it sunk not three months later.

Have had the great fortune to be on every side of the howitzers.
I hope you kept it. Please PM me, it’s a treasure.

Now See ;
I had many hopes for the model companies to snatch this one up . Like the Normandie , they chose to omit this beautiful ship from any kit Availability .
My uncle has pictures of that terrible time , with pictures of the passengers we picked up during the rescue .There were many fishing boats , tugs , and others that helped the Coast Guard that day .
My Aunt Won't let me even borrow them ! I believe that was when I was a cabin boy on Uncle Joseph's Tuna Clipper ( just like the Lifelike/Lindberg kit . ) Maybe between ten and thirteen . I would know better if I could remember the year !
I checked and I was just about to turn thirteen !
GMorrison I hope you kept it. Please PM me, it’s a treasure.
I did not keep it. I only read of the story after I got home. It turns out I should probably have kept the trunks as I understand they are quite collectable but I have enoughh stuff laying around as it is.

You might be surprised . A trunk wuth the check in freight label for " on board baggage " on the Santa Fe Super Chief from 1952 just sold on a train site for 200 bucks . Just because of the label !!! T.B.

Yeah I kinda thought about that later. Someone brought up the trunk collector stuff after I posted the pic on Flickr. It was no doubt too late because I know someone snagged it from the curb within minutes of me leaving no doubt. Plus it's not like something you could sell and ship on ebay.
