Oregon Sailor Recalls Philippine Sea Fight and Goldsborough Crash
Henry Harbach, night watchman at Hotel St. George, served aboard the battleship Oregon during the Santiago de Cuba action against Spain, later as fireman and engineer on the torpedo boat destroyer Goldsborough in Portland. He recounts extreme heat in the engine rooms, crews hauled from vents, and a 60 foot hull dent after ramming a rock off China coast. He recalls Cap Clark’s leadership and the shipboard camaraderie that defined those wartime weeks.
