PT 309 Relurns To Active Duty

Thanks to new wood donated from lVeyerhaeuser Co., Houston, Tx., the last surviving U.S. Navy PT boat with a WW II combat record has retumed to the sea.

Nicknamed "Oh, Frankie," PT 309 was built of mahogany planking and plywood n 1947, by Higgins Indus$ie* of Lauisiana, which had purchased the origi nal wood from Weyerhaeuser, Tacoma, Wa.

After seeing considerable action in the Mediterranean during the war, the 78'vessel served as a fishing boat for years. In 1994, the Nimitz Museum purchased PT 309 and began restoring the craft to its original condition.

"Ihis is an important piece of histsryn", said Bob Brown, Weyerhaeuser customer service spokesperson. "\il'e're proud to help preserve it for future generations to experience and enjoy."
