First Memorial Services held for those who
lost their lives on April 16, 1945

Services were held on May 31, 1945 at Pier 1 where the ship had been
placed on display to the public.  Of the relatives shown, the only people I
recognize and remember are the three persons on the extreme right hand
side of the picture - Mr. and Mrs. Jens Thomsen and their son Fred. 
They were the family of Ensign Robert Thomsen, our Navigator.
