Original photo comes from the estate of Leo and Alice Campbell PT 236 Ron 19 & 20. Location Green Island Pacific Appx. 3.5" x 5" Slightly cut. Creased and stained and with wear. Brittle cut album page has rips, been taped and has wear. The Crew of PT 236. "Crawfish" written on the back of the photo, read online it was called "Crayfish". PT 236 towed John F Kennedys PT 59. Shortly after we arrived at Lambu Lambu Cove, the base commander received an urgent message that a Marine patrol was trapped on Choiseul Island near the mouth of the Warrior River. Kennedy's PT-59, whose fuel tanks were only half full, was assigned to pick up the desperate Marines. He was assisted by PT-236 of our squadron, whose tanks were full. The plan was for PT-236 to tow Kennedy's boatfull of Marines back to Lambu Lambu Cove once he ran out of gasoline. The mission was a complete success, with 236 under Ensign William F. Crawford extending PT-59 the towline at about 3 am on November 3, 1943, and bringing it back to Lambu Lambu Cove Questions? Feel free to contact us, Ryans Rust before purchase.
