USS Bolster ARS 38 In early 1952, the SS Meridian Victory took on a cargo of ammo at Concord Naval Weapons in CA. While entering Suyong Man (without a Korean pilot) the ship ran upon a sunken reef which inflicted considerable damage. The Bolster came over from Japan and assisted. Bolster's crew crammed spare mattresses against the hole(s) and secured them with cables which they wound clear around the hull. With Bolster lashed alongside the Meridian, both vessels "limped" back to Harima shipyard at Kure, Honshu, Japan. Here a hardhat divers is going over the side. (Contributed by Chuck Durand) |
