He was on deck of the USS Honolulu, anchored in drydock, when the harbor was attacked. A bomb hit the #1 powdermagazine and blew him 180 feet into the water and he swam to a Chief of Staff boat. He watched the California make a run for it. There is a great story ( debate) about that which I may have solved by continuing his collection. My daughter used to argue with the history teacher, "IDC WHAT THE STUPID BOOK SAYS, MY PAPA WAS THERE"! 😂Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365664891496798005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632058930456726254.post-84690876498907694972019-04-11T07:50:01.132-05:002019-04-11T07:50:01.132-05:00That’s amazing!

The man in the wheel house and the man above the wheelhouse were killed instantly and the third man was thrown into the water and drowned.There was another man that was in the water for 24 hours before they found him. They saved 37 Marines that day.

My father was First Lieutenant/cargo officer aboard Mazama at the time of this attack. Outside of the copy of the official report he kept in his personal papers, this is one of the better accounts of the action I have seen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05219005515785119839noreply@blogger.com
