correction regarding a fact on the rescue of the Flying Enterprise.
editRegarding....The highlight of these runs occurred while en route to Bremerhaven in January 1952, she rescued survivors from the stricken merchantman SS Flying Enterprise.
As a matter of fact, the General Greely was on route to New York in January 1952 having left Bremerhaven. I know this because I was a passenger on the ship and was told by my father that they had rescued all but one person from the Flying Enterprise.98.216.41.59 (talk) 01:49, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
The above is absolutely correct as my family and I were on the ship having left Bremerhaven 12/23/1951 and arrived in NY the night of 1/9/1952. I recall this rescue and it was often discussed in later years.
It prolonged our rough journey. I obtained the Treasury Department Manifest documenting the arrival in New York and listing our names. (HRO: 2/18/2011)
Fast Ship
editShe made the California to Australia run in three weeks? I am no expert, but that seems a little quick to me. Can some Smart Person confirm? Paul, in Saudi (talk) 03:40, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
