Description
In November 1950, Mr. Nickerson's PPCLI Battalion sailed for Korea. It was an uncomfortable crossing.
Transcription
It was rough on the boat. There was some real bad storms and I guess November and December are bad times in the Pacific. And it was really rough. And it was an old Second World War Liberty ship and that, and they weren't noted for, like, cruise line facilities. You were way down in the hole and four or five bunk high with about two feet between bunks up and down. It was pretty primitive and a lot of people were sick. I was lucky. I never got sick, but a lot of people did get sick. Sea sickness and that.
Interviewer: Where did the ship dock?
Pusan.
Interviewer: You went directly from North America to Pusan?
Yep, Pusan.
