Talk:USS Blue Ridge (ID-2432)

Sources needed
This article seems to need sourcing badly. Any leads? ++Lar: t/c 19:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Answering my own question: The following may be of some help. Some talk about the newer ship but mention this one in passing:
 * http://naha.usconsulate.gov/wwwh-20070126a.html
 * http://diver.net/seahunt/avalon/avalon.htm (wreck of the Avalon, has pic of Virginia and of Blue Ridge with bow cut off for transit out the great lakes)
 * http://www.cawreckdivers.org/Wrecks/Avalon.htm another diving site, has a bit more info on her fate
 * http://www.blue-ridge.navy.mil/checking%20in.htm another LCC 19 site but has a bit of info about her as well
 * http://www.shawnandcolleen.com/sshsasocal/docs/catalina.html primarily about the SS Catalina a successor and larger ship in Catalina Island service but has some info on her

Net net is that I think the facts outlined in the article are corroborated but it needs sourced refernces. Some of the pictures in the above pages may be PD by now, someone would have to check. ++Lar: t/c 19:40, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


 * All the images here are PD, I'm pretty sure: http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-b/id2432.htm ... I will work on uploading at least one in civvies (for Goodrich Transportation Company) and the sawed off bow one becaue it's cool. ++Lar: t/c 05:08, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
