I looked at it, it was a Whale Factory American flagged sitting there about 6 1/2 to 7 miles SW of pearl with decks under water, superstructures above.
Approximate location from the map coordinates 158,1 W 21,17(and a half) N

I hope this was enough info to nail it down.


Thanks. We'll look, but had you encountered any inclement weather just before that? Encounter any IJN surface vessels (including submarines) or airplanes? Remember that June 6, 1942 was kind of an important date in Pacific during WWII..."


Yes, I got the radio message about Midway, right after I did a quick refit on the way home.
There had been some rainy weather about 10-15 days west of pearl.
Saw 1 IJN destroyer way west of pearl, many days out. came home at TC 1536, sometimes 2048.
