Forgotten heroes of Submarine Chaser 209 are honored
A plea seeks federal action to recover or inter Harold Peverill and his 15 crewmates from submarine chaser 209 sunk off the New Jersey coast after a firing incident near August 27, 1918. Neighbors plan a petition drive to gain national recognition and burial in a national cemetery, citing local desire for a memorial and official acknowledgment.
