    Anyone have a photo of a WWII Correct Craft?

    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!

    On the History page of the website there are three photographs. The one on the left is a photo of the warboats. If you click on it, you can get a bigger photo. They aren't much
    to look at, just a simple rectangular boat. They were made to move men to the beach for an invasion, and they weren't coming back. BKH

      yeah, there's some pictures in some of the CC bio books that i bought a few months ago, cant remember the name of the books, something like "on the water/wakes of the world" or something of that nature. But yeah, as BKH said, definitely the most basic of boats, not meant to be coming back.

        I just took the tour last week and I found some great photos in the lobby. They have some action photos with troops and some of the manufacturing process. The tour was great! I found my 210 Team Edition in the middle of the plant. It was getting the dash and heater!
