	PT Joe
		Boat number PT 695 (P.T. Joe) was built by the Annapolis Yacht Yard Inc. of Annapolis, Md., in 1945.
		P.T. Joe was sold to a man that may have had plans to use her in a smuggling operation.
		In August 1991, P.T. Joe was donated by the San Pedro Boat Works to the Sea Scouts of Rio Vista, Calif. These enthusiastic, hard-working young men have restored P.T. Joe to her original PT 695 condition (without the armament).

		SAVE THE PT BOAT INC. was formed by a group of gray-haired ex-PT boaters to take custody of an historic relic, PT 658, a Navy-owned World-War II motor torpedo boat, and restore it to original operating condition, with full armament and three 1,500 horsepower Packard V-12 engines.
		In keeping with Oregon's maritime tradition, we intend to operate and display the boat in the Pacific Northwest as a living memorial to the thousands of U.S. sailors who manned these tiny warships in nearly every WW II theater: The Atlantic, the English Channel, the Mediterranean, the South Pacific, the Aleutians and the Philippines.

		Great picture showing "PT 38", which served with RON 2 in the South Pacific.
		Drew Cook notes: "The propeller ad which shows sailors fishing off the port side of PT 117 is neat, but -- the real 117 never "lived" long enough to be fitted for the second-series radar mast as she is shown with in the ad's drawing.
