At random: In a fraction of a second they are projected into eternity and will never possess a final resting home.They have graves without bodies, they are an exceptional breed of people....It is of utmost pride to me to have met these men, those lords that I salute, praise and admire. - Winston Churchill on Clearance Divers September 1944

I have literally hundreds of "backburnered" emails that I will get to "some day"... here's a pic that I may not have posted before. The handwriting is reportedly not that of Bogey but an assistant. Still... it's pretty neat stuff. I have permission to use the photo but it has since been sold so please don't copy it.

So Don, what's the "rest of the story"? Did Bogart do a movie that the Seadragon was in (like African Queen)?

Was there a date on that photo?

Which USS Seadragon was it - SS-194 or SSN-584?

Don't know "the rest of the story," but could it have been because he was in the Navy? He enlisted in 1918, and recalled that, "At eighteen war was good stuff. Paris! French girls! Hot damn!"

He had to have been born around 1900, and the style of that suit go to be SS194. John396

As Bogey died in 1957, my guess would be the former.

Sid, Great finding that site, I went the First National Pictures route thinking Bogart had visited the Seadragon while shooting a film.

Hadn't considered him thanking the crew for snapshots they sent him.
