AND.....The Lightship! Grin

Strange...the lightship is tied up at the dock....has the National Engsin on a mast, not on the fantail....and no Union Jack at the bow :confused: ForJack!  Maybe just an "old school" picture Huh?

Way the 40's are lined up Zoomer, could be that the Hudson had just tossed her lines and was getting an escort out; least that's what it looks like to me  ForJack!

Here is the newsreel footage of CG-40453 looking for the
three Alcatraz escaped inmates.  The 40453 is the 40-footer
on the left in the photo above.
