Safe Across Pond Rainbow Division Voyage Noted By Father O Connor
Father O Connor recalls the Rainbow Division voyage to war in a Boston writer’s account. The convoy faced few ships, seasickness, and a serious appendicitis case but overall a steady voyage with daily shipboard life. Mass on deck, naval drills, and a phoshoric night sea mark the journey toward a harbor. The crowd salutes arrive with a Marseillaise singalong.
