World War II Cruise Book
Bring the Cruise Book to Life with this Multimedia Presentation
A great part
of Naval history.
You would be purchasing the USS Tyrrell AKA 80 cruise book during World War II. Each
page has been placed on a CD for years of enjoyable computer viewing. The CD comes in a plastic
sleeve with a custom label. Every page has been enhanced and is readable. Rare cruise books like this sell for a
hundred dollars or more when buying the actual hard copy if you can find one for sale.
This would make a great gift
for yourself or someone you know who may have served aboard her. Usually only ONE person in the family has the original
book. The CD makes it possible for other family members to have a copy also. You will not be disappointed we guarantee
it.
