Serpent Docks at Seattle Tomorrow Tuesday 17, September at approximately 1700 "GI" time. Ten days and 4300 miles ago, we had our first look at the ship as we carried our barracks bags up her gangplank and out of Japan. Since that time the "Marine Serpent" has brought us to the shores of another nation on the opposite side of the world's widest ocean.
The sailing is over, but a lot of men will remember the Voyage of the Serpent".
