Eh the thanks to me are unfounded guys, I just sailed since I was 3 years old and spent some time in musty old ship chandlers. There use to be one at the foot of a bridge in San Leon that had all kinds neat old stuff and a parrot that screamed "help help help". I couldn't have been more than 10.
Real thanks go to Makman94 for finding interesting stuff and posting it to jog memories like this.
The one that would interest this forum is my grandfather telling me about the U-Boat spotted off Galveston by one of the coastal batteries. Sadly that is all I remember and he passed away in 77 (WWII Marine, Pacific).
