PT 728


PT Boat 728


Guns!

Pt Boat 728 was docked in Milford, CT yesterday for the Oyster Festival festivities. This was my first time seeing one in person. Papa said this is not from the same line of PT boats that he was on. This one, built by Vosper in 1945, was recently purchased on eBay and restored. It is regularly stationed in Key West, Fl. Click here for more information. This link also has interesting information on PT boats in general. There are very few still in tact after all these years.

Good thing they got that PT Boat out of Key West, FL. It would be a shame if it got sunk in a hurricane.
