USS West Point
Unescorted Troop Ship
"We zigzaged from Boston to the North Africa direction and swung north to England."
Text
"Actually, when I first got to Europe, I got there by way of Liverpool on a ship that carried 14,000 troops. This was the USS America, and I think it was called the West Point at that time. It was our largest ocean liner. And we took five days to cross. We were unescorted. We zigzaged from Boston to the North Africa direction and swung north to England."
