Mort Jenkins ended his “running log” with an amazing first hand account of the USS Mount Hood exploding in Seeadler Harbor. In this episode, you will hear what Mort wrote after witnessing this “horrible beauty” of an explosion. He wrote so descriptively and honestly about what he saw and how he felt about it–truly wonderful writing and very real.
Thank you to our good friend Keith Adams for his narration of Mort’s entries!
