Could this person be a Merchant Marine?
I am looking for help to find any records for my father-in law that had stated for over 50 yrs that he was in the Merchant Marines. He said that he got on a ship and was taken out and when he woke up he was in the water and bodies and clothes etc... was floating around him.
This took a lot of prying to get anything out of him over the years and than once again a few yrs before he died, he was in very sound mind, just sick in body. We figured he got on a ship in Louisiana, as that would of been the nearest point for him as he lived in TN & was born in AL.
He had lost his wallet along with his S.S card and re-applied for a new one a while after he was back on shore.
What I am asking is this. Is there a place that I can write to and get some information.
Is there a place that may have a ships name that would have sailed from Louisiana?.
I am sorry that this is so long, just wanted to get as much information out as I could.
Thank you for any help that you can give. Pam
