I found an RCA ship's Radiogram form, unused, with the name stamped, not typewritered on it, SANTA ELISA. I looked up this ship name and I see it was sunk off Cape Bon,
Tunisia in 1942. ( My father mentioned Cape Bon as one of the places he visited during his tour with the U.S. Army, a little later that year. )
My question is, is this form from the ship or from a land station ? If it was from the ship, a gasoline tanker, they wouldn't have passengers onboard who needed to send paid
telegrams. Or did they send routine arrival messages and such - I mean before the war - and then file the originals onboard ?
Who knows ?
thanks-
Hue
