Username: A-58 Postmark: 27 October, 2024 Arrived: 30 October, 2024 From: Historic St. Mary's, Georgia, USA Bobby (A-58), keeps up his rapid postcard pace with a submission from historic St. Marys, Georgia. Initially settled in the 1500s, this is one of the original town in Georgia. I think the USN Submarine Museum that Bobby mentions would be a great place to visit! Remember to check the WW2 Forums/Forces Postal Service Map for a look at our growing list of all WW2F/FPS submissions.
Georgia was the source for much of the live oak used in building the nascent USN. "Old Ironsides" got her nick because of the live oak used in her construction. Live oak gets harder as it is exposed to salt water.
