2. Feb. 23, 2012 My grandfather, Oliver Adams Wyckoff, was on the fleet's round-the-world cruise on the USS Louisiana. I have some of his pictures and souvenirs along with his 'Shellback' certificate for crossing the equator. I have it hanging in my shop next to my 'Shellback' certificate that I got when I crossed the equator in 1966 on the USS Harwood. Keep up the good work in preserving our Naval history. Sincerely, Richard W. Wyckoff SMC USNR (retired) |
1. Feb 15, 2009 What a great site! My Grandfather-Joseph W. Langbauer was on the Louisiana in 1908 and I have his document given him when he crossed the Equator on January 6th, 1908 on my wall. I also have pictures of him. Thanks for the great pictures. Kenneth S. Langbauer Deerfield Beach, Florida |
