I do not have too much information about my father, but I know he was on a ship hit by a torpedo and was rescued at sea in 1941-1943. I do not know the name of the ship he was on or the exact dates. All I know is that he ended up in the San Francisco California in the Mare Island, San Francisco, California area. The VetRecs in the USA do not have a record of him I was informed. Do you know of any way I may research who he worked for and/or what ships he may have been aboard during WWII? The U.S. Merchant Marine does not have a record of him, so I think he worked for a company? I do not know where to start looking for any info on him. His name was Anthony J. Terracino, born 9/30/1921, and was from Brooklyn, N.Y. Thanks very much. Laura Laura
