Somewhere in amongst those sunken oilers was an interesting story from a deckhand who was sunk twice before being rescued once. He was fairly new to the merchant marine but sharp enough to sleep with his life jacket on. When the ship suddenly heaved, He knew exactly what had happened and got topside in time to be swept over the side. The water was covered in oil, And he swallowed some making him violently ill. Another freighter began picking up surivers and was itself torpedoed, This time Catching Fire. Again, He had to take to the sea, And was horribly burned getting there this time. A third ship coming the other way Was picking up survivors. It too was damaged but not sunk before they could get the man out of the water. It was quite a challenge because the men were oil covered and kept slipping out of the loop, But this man held the loop tight despite it biting through the burn on his back and was hauled up onto the deck. The ship immediately struck out for mobile Is Alabama and was able to outrun the submarine, Who was by then, being harassed by allied armed forces.

@MrKen-wy5dk: my father worked as a boilermaker, rivet driver, welder, and steel plate and bulkhead installer at Todd Shipyard in Galveston during the era of 1939-1961. I worked at Todd during the summers of 1957, ‘58, and ’59 to help my college expenses. I was born in 1937, raised, and educated in Galveston. I still remember the blackouts we had during the night because of potential U-boats offshore and the blimp base we had at Hitchcock that housed two blimps used for scouting and hunting for U-boats that could be attacked by planes from planes at Scholes Field and Ellington Field. My dad riveted a lot of the ships that went into WWII and he was drafted into the Army in 1944 at the age of 34 yrs, with 4 kids to support. He repaired and converted a lot of the ships that returned from the war after 1945. I worked in and knew all 3 dry docks at Todds as well as the main plate shop and most of the employees at Todds - especially the boilermakers. Since I was a boilermaker helper, I knew a lot of the senior welders, cutters, & fitters as well as machinists and electricians. I learned to cut and weld at Todd. I heard a lot of the stories and tales of what went on during and after WWII. I can relate to the U-boat presence the Gulf of Mexico.

While it is true that the diseases don't spread easily without sexual contact having one would still be extremely uncomfortable for the crewmember and with no way of treating or even alleviating the disease while at sea the afflicted sailors performance would be severely compromised. If a crewmember can not fully perform his duties he puts the entire boat at risk. The captain was probably exempt just by the virtue of being a high ranking officer who should know better and not have unprotected sex with hookers.

Initial search doesn’t bring back any info that he got one, which I would find to be shocking

@@HiddenHistoryYT the only people who could of told the German high command were his crew and they became prisoners of war, unless they got traded, only the Americans would know and when the war was over, there wouldn't be anyone to give the late Capt. recognition "or" medals.

They were real heroes
