@pmclaine USCGC Acushnet was one of the cutters involved in the rescue of the SS Fort Mercer, another victim of the same nor'easter that claimed the SS Pendelton off Chatham.
Yesterday I spent a couple of hours looking about USS Edson (DD-967, named after MGEN Merritt Edson, USMC) at the Saginaw Bay Naval Museum. Even though I served on something quite a bit newer, a lot of things about her took me back 30 years ago to my first sea billet. Number 2 engine room and fire room were an eye opener for me, used to the gas turbine plant of a newer frigate and the super roomy steam plant of a CVN.
Here's number 2 fire room, you can see one of the boilers on the left of the frame. Had to be hot AF down there while on the gun line off Vietnam
