Speaking of Sea Stories: Did you ever hear that the Queen Mary once sank a warship?

The bad news: It was a Royal Navy ship. The Curacao. Killed almost 400 English sailors.

The event was (illegally) recorded by a P38 pilot. His mates took turns concealing the existence of his camera and film from any prying eyes. Photos were finally published in “Life” around 1951.

I shall probably be visiting with the photographer and his surviving friends in October in Cincinatti. Anybody on this thread live nearby? Consider yourself invited to drop in and meet the boys.
