USS Emmons Wreck Vandalized

Skin head Hippys?? Uhhh..

Anyhow

Its a despicable act.

Chances are good that these items were sold even before they were removed. So much for ebay watch.

Reason I say this is that they were very selective and knew just what to take.

This was one of my favorite American destroyers, too; she was one of the few ships to serve at D-Day and in the Pacific. I first found out about her when I bought a book with a Dwight Shepler painting (seen below) as a kid. For years her ID was a mystery to me until I managed to look up her pennant number with Conway's 1922-1946 edition.

Good point, maybe they weren't pearl divers. But someone with access to ships drawing and other historical data and the ability to read it.

If they ever catch who did this, hope they promptly keelhaul the SOB's

Many of these kinds of vandalism and looting, is a custom job, unfortunately

Don't really know what to say... this is a disgraceful act of vandalisism... I feel pretty hurt reading it... I'd hate to have served on her and read this.
