The photo below was sent to the Seafarers LOG by Pensioner Jesus V. Garcia of Fort Lee, N.J.It was taken on an SIU-contracted ship “a few years ago,” he wrote in a letter to the LOG that accompanied the photo.
“As you can see,” he wrote, “it shows some of my shipmates having coffee at 10:00 a.m.”
Brother Garcia, who was born in Fort Worth, Texas, joined the SIU in 1948 in the port of New York sailing as an FOWT. He retired in 1980, last sailing on the Borinquen.
