Thank you for the fantastic tour and video! I have visited a number of WW2 ships, but I have to say that I think that the 1091 is the most amazing ship that I have ever seen. Kudos to her current crew for keeping her "seaworthy" (aka, intact). This ship MIUST be preserved for future generations.

Thanks! We'll pass your kind words of encouragement onto the 1091 crew. We were out there last week and they have a few more volunteers helping - they're making some good progress!

Never knew she existed! Hoping they can get more word out so they can get much better funding and more volunteers! If I lived close I would volunteer in a heartbeat!

My father served on 9 different LCI (L) during the war. He was the radio operator for the Flotilla commander so wherever the admiral went he followed and bounced from LCI to LCI. Near the end of the war, he was transferred to the USS Queens APA 103 which he claimed was at least a proper sea going vessel. The LCIs being flat bottomed did not travel well on the open seas. If you want to know more about these ships of the so-called "Water Bug Navy" the book HEART OF HELL is a great place to start. My father served on one of those LCI that was deploying UTD men into Iwo Jima. He was transferred off just before the landing the radioman that replaced him was killed. I have a logbook from LCI (L) 10?? and will gladly give it to the museum if I can find it.

Wow! Great history! Could you please email the LCI 1091 crew with this information and offer? Send to RoyalBMcc@gmail.com (Royal is the Director of the LSI Museum Assocation.

Holy cow, Batman! 20 mm canons, not machine guns. We used to go to the Samoa Cook house back in the '70s when I was at Humboldt State. That picture of the crews mess shows sailors who are from another navy, not Americans. Wrong uniforms! And there's a bottle of grogg on the table. Wait. Infantry OR Marines? What do you think Marines are? I guess you meant SOLDIERS or Marines... We call the "steering wheel" the helm. No steering gear???

Could you find us a more precisely historical accurate mess image or two? We would love to re-edit the master that airs on our Humboldt community access station. (you can send through our "Humboldt Outdoors" fb channel). The original ship had a steering lever, but not the wheel, which was added later. We'll let John know about the Marines vs Infantry and 20 mm canons - he's a coast guard vet. Thanks for all the great detail! We 4 who volunteer to make these videos don't have a military background so appreciate learning more.

Could you also take a look at our other episode with WWII info to see if we have images that match? (Samoa Bunkers - look in our episode list) If you find any inaccurate images,, could you find us more historically accurate images to replace them in our masters we air on Humboldt's community access TV? We're all volunteer, and would appreciate your military expertise help!

Maybe some "community service" people can help with the reservation of the ship. Looks like much "chipping and painting".
