Search the Currituck web site. The USS Currituck web site is dedicated to the men who served aboard the Wild Goose and the Seaplane Squadrons she tended.
It may take a couple seconds for the search page to open.
There are many photos on the site, and all are welcome to submit more should you wish to. The site includes much history of the Currituck and some letters and diaries from and by shipmates.
The guest book from past years has been preserved in text format and may be searched to find old friends. Please be aware though, that some of the e-mail addresses may now be obsolete. If anyone would like to update an address in the old guest book, send an e-mail to the address shown at the bottom of this page.
Many of the photos here are Navy photographs, but some are personal photos by crew members and may be copywrite by them. They are used here by permission. Some photos are large in size and may take time to download.
Thank you for visiting, and it is hoped you will enjoy some of the past.

In recognition...
Thank you all, who have submitted photos and information.
My Thanks and Deep Appreciation to Stephen Eakin, Historian who spent much time researching and scanning many of the photographs used.
And much Thanks to my Friend and Shipmate, Joe Peake, who put me in touch with Stephen.
Just to go one step further, none would have been possible without the efforts of the people of the USS Currituck Assoc. Their dedication and hard work to locate former crew members are greatly appreciated by all.
Last, but not least, Thanks to an 'ol Navy Chief and Ham Radio Operator who first told me of the Currituck Association, via Ham Radio, KB5UFQ, Irwin B. Barnes, US Navy, Ret.
