Dad's Documents. Part II.
Dad's original indenture, or as much of it that I could fit in my document scanner! Because of the war situation, Dad had his apprenticeship completed after three years instead of the normal requirement of four. Also the MN was running short of qualified watchkeeping and navigating officers apparently.
Also the Christmas Dinner served on the tanker San Roberto when she was running on East Coast Convoys. The U.S. Coastguard identity pass was issued to him when he was in New York for hospital treatment.
