LOL Yes, I remember that one, I hope it comes out on DVD so I can get my kids interested in ships & boats!

Thanks for that, I've added it to the main list on the first page.

Does anybody remember the serials "Don Winslow of the Navy" and "Don Winslow
of the Coast Guard"??? They played at the theatre at 13 episodes each.
The navy one was first and ran in 1942. The coast guard one is better and ran
later. The stars were Don Terry and Walter Sande. I recently picked up DVD
copies of both. They really look OLD.... The ship I saw in the navy one was
an old 4 stacker DD.

Over the years I've asked countless people if they remembered a TV show called "Don Winslow of the Coast Guard" but to no avail. I'm so glad I saw your post because now at 64 years of age, I can finally say that I wasn't imagining the show. I can still remember how the main theme song sounds and be able to hum it.

A great show but a documentary rather than a drama series, I'll add that to my future list covering that, thanks, can't wait for the forthcoming game based on the show, looks great.

We have a UK equivalent to that show by the BBC called "Trawlermen" focussing on the fishing boats of Peterhead in Scotland .
