Now I just have to see if I can scan some of my pics to show them.

Well you had better get on it...

Here's four pics i've scanned from my grandfathers album. He served his time in the Finnish Navy sailing ship named Suomen Joutsen (Finnish Swan). The old man himself poses in the first and second pic. First pic is taken in New York at 1937.
On the third pic Finnish Swan is at the port of Dakar, Senegal (???).
I have no idea what happens in the fourth pic

Sailor, very nice pictures. Will take a look if there are some pictures with my father- the minesweeper.

Sugar Ray Robinson, the greatest fighter, pound for pound, that ever stepped in a ring, skipping rope while George Gainford taps his foot and whistles "There's no business like show business." Also a couple of pix by Lewis Hine of the construction of the Empire State Building in NYC circa 1930.
