Oh, Dad did some floating around during the war too. You are very lucky to have those letters.

He also said he circumnavigated the world 7 times during his lifetime.

That included traveling for pleasure.

I read somewhere that the early Liberty Ships had a nasty habit of cracking in half and sinking. Lost a lot of Merchant Marines till they figured out how to reinforce them.
