| FROM, THE U S COASTGUARD IN WW II UNITED STATES NAVAL INSTITUTE, ANNAPOLIS, MD |
coast guard picture id s were issued. i recall my dad having a white picture id necessary for fishing in the li sound. i'm sure many germanbastards and axis power people entered this country by jumping ship or from u-boats, at that time. of course they must have headed straight for new jersey. bigfoot is not the only resident of northern new jersey.
fishing boats were a good cover for illegal entry activities.
u-boats were a major problem at the time. many a merchant marine ship carrying personnel, and supplies to europe were sunk near our coast. one of my dad's friends was ship wrecked twice.
