Some Vintage Photos, Part 2/2

This dramatic picture, taken after the order came to abandon the SS President Collidge, the 22,000-ton troop transport, which struck a mine in a harbour on Espiritu Santo, on March 21, 1943, shows troops swarming over the side by rope and cargo net. On her captain�s order the ship was run upon a reef which held it long enough for all but two men to escape. (Photo by AP Photo)
