Summary
[edit]DescriptionCaptain G. Eklund, Merchant Marine, checks a ship's radio direction finder, 1942 (23854290345).jpg | Lot-9433-6: These Are The Ships And The Men Who Deliver Oil To The Allies. Despite Axis submarines, the U.S. is continuing to deliver oil for the Allied war machine. This success is due chiefly to two things – tankers and men. The tankers carry their own “cargo insurance” – big guns for the U-boats, machine guns for enemy aircraft. The men who man them are tough, fearless and capable of meeting any opposition the enemy has to offer. These pictures, made aboard a U.S. tanker, show the men at work and some of the measures taken to protect them. Shown: On board the tanker, Captain G. Eklund, Merchant Marine, checks the radio direction finder. The instrument helps determine the ship’s position, thus eliminating the use of radio transmitter, from which any enemy sub could spot the ship. Office of War Information Photograph, 16-22 April 1942. Original photograph is small. (2015/12/18). |
