There is a small (2.5 x 4 inch) picture of
THAUMASTUS in the appendix of a book titled OCEAN FREIGHTS & CHARTERING by
C.F.H. Cuffley; originally published by Staples Press Ltd. The book is now out of print - I think that I have one of the last editions, 1978, published by Granada Publishing St. Albans/London.
If you cannot find a copy I might be able to e-mail the picture if yoiu canconfirm you e-mail address.

<HTML>Hi Ron,
Did the obvious and looked on Amazon.Bingo!Liberty:The Ships That Won the War by Peter Elphick ISBN 1557505357. Comes well recommended. There is a good article on T2 Tankers, Ships Monthly, April 2002.
Thanks for your help.

<HTML>Thanks Roger.
I guess it's getting so big now that it may not be as easy to navigate as I had planned / hoped. It's easy for me, of course, because I know exactly where everything is (and there are links to each and every section of the site at the bottom of each page), but please DO let me know if it's still not easy to find things, with suggestions for improvements if you have any. Remember also that there's a link to the search feature on each page, you'd be surprised what you might find by using that! I even use it quite often myself.

I recently received a computer and found your web sight. I was on the Sarah Orne Jewett in WWII. I am interested in finding anyone who might have sailed on that ship. I was a Navy signalman in 1942 and sailed from San Pedro Ca. West and rounded south Africa and ended up in New York City. Thank you for this web sight. Al Roth

I am getting used to the computer and enjoyed the liberty ship web sight. I was on the ship Sarah Orne Jewett in WWII. I was a signalman and sailed around the world with her. I am interested in finding anyone who might have been on that ship. I left San Pedro Harbor Ca. and headed West until we arrived in New York in 1942. I would appreciate any information. Thank you!

Al,
My father served on the SS Sarah Orne Jewett also. He was on her for a cruise from the States to the Mediterranean and back, April '44 to September '44. Dad served in the engineroom as an oiler.
The Jewett was in the invasion fleet during the invasion of Southern France in Aug '44, and was close in to shore at the St. Raphael beach head, the only hotly contested beach head in that invasion. While she was offloading, the Jewett was hit by German shore fire, resulting in a hole in the number 2 hold at the waterline. The Jewett was pulled out of the line and sent back to Naples for temporary repairs and finally returned to New York for permanent repairs.
In Nov 1966, the Jewett ran aground in the Philippines and was declared a constructive total loss. She was broken up in 1967 in Taiwan.
