One of my earliest memories is of a sub submerging in the river in downtown Portland. The deck was covered with yellow flowers and when the deck was awash, the flowers floated away. This memory played a part in my choice to volunteer for sub duty. Recently found this photo in the archives of the Oregon Historical Society. This is the exact image I remember. Not particularly earthshaking or important to most, but I enjoyed adding a bit more detail to this early memory. The photo was taken Oct. 27, 1947.

Interesting that Portland is the "homeport" for the second USS Blueback.
