I've read about these on the CC website, but they seem to all have dissapeared as I cannot find a photo of one anywhere.
From the website:
During the Second World War, the company’s reputation garnered the attention of the United States government, which desperately needed storm boats to support the war effort. Feeling a strong sense of patriotism, the Meloon family answered the nation’s call during its time of crisis.
General Eisenhower requested that Correct Craft build approximately 400 boats in fifteen days. That number was far more boats than the company had ever produced in such a short period of time. Nevertheless, through a combination of prayer and remarkable ingenuity, Correct Craft developed an innovative production process that allowed the factory to produce the needed number of boats in record time. This event, which National Geographic later dubbed “A Miracle Production,” solidified the company’s reputation as being a reliable, quality boat manufacturer.
Thanks!
