Lecture
-
Richard Berg,
Former USN Motor Machinist 1st Class, David Warren,
A huge fleet of support vessels operated behind the scenes—often in harm’s way—to keep the fighting ships going. During WWII, nets were laid in harbors, anchorages, and around large ships to serve as protection against submarine and torpedo attacks. When not performing Net duties these ships were also used as cargo, salvage, buoy and tug vessels, as well as in the performance of other duties. Following a brief survey of auxiliary ship types, WWII veteran Richard Berg will explain how net tenders protected ships from submarine and torpedo attacks. David Warren will follow with a discussion of his latest ship model project, a WWII T-2 Tanker.

Bittersweet
romance, tender farce, and a shot of history for good measure. Taylor
gives us the Stott family in the north of England during World War II,
underscored with music of the era. Helen, the eldest daughter expects
little in the way of love, but the appearance of a soldier named Norman
causes a seismic shift in the way she sees herself and her world. Does
love give us the freedom to be transformed, even in the midst of
turbulent times?
