1923 Point Honda

Thanks for remembering the American destroyermen lost in 1923. (See "Seven Clemson Class Destroyers all wrecked at Honda Point on the 8th. of September 1923")

A slight correction needed for the two ships that lost sailors. It is correct that the Delphy lost 3, but it was the USS Young which lost 20 sailors, NOT the Nicholas.

Richard,

Thank you for that, we will correct my error.

What a horrendous accident now so long ago.

Best wishes,
Mac. Gregory.
