Description: PT109 commanded by Lieutenant John F Kennedy Solomon Islands Nautical Chart Historic nautical chart art print of PT109 commanded by Lieutenant John F Kennedy during World War 2. --------------------------------------------------- PT-109 was a PT boat (patrol torpedo boat) commanded by Lieutenant John F. Kennedy in the Pacific theater during World War 2. On Aug 2, 1943 PT109 was severed in half by a Japanese destroyer but managed to stay afloat over 12 hours. The surviving crew made there way to an uninhabited Solomon Island avoiding sharks and Japanese patrols. They were eventually recovered by Solomon Island scouts. JFK’s actions to save his surviving crew after the sinking of PT-109 made him a war hero. Later JFK became president of the United States. PT-109 was a PT-103 class boat built between 1942 and 1945 for service for the US Navy during WW2. A PT boat (motor patrol boat) was a small, maneuverable and fast torpedo armed fast attack vessel (MTB). PT-109 could accommodate a crew of three officers and 14 enlisted men. They were 80 feet and had strong wooden hulls ideal for speed but provided very limited protection in a battle or torpedo attack.

MacGregor Jr. Watercolors Nautical Chart Artist William B. MacGregor, Jr. was born in Medfield, MA, the son and grandson of Norfolk Hunt Club kennel masters. Many of his family members were self taught artists, woodcarvers, automobile mechanics and veterans of foreign wars including his father a WW1 US Army veteran. Bill is a graduate of Medfield High School, Wentworth Institute, and Northeastern University. His engineering career, from which he is now retired, included working for military and aerospace companies in industrial engineering and IR optics. His painting incorporates “old skool” mechanical and civil drafting tools and he uses a mixed medium of watercolors, acrylics and inks. Two rabbits are often in quite a few of his paintings. Look for them. He is frequently commissioned by United States Naval officers to create paintings of their ships and aircraft carriers on nautical charts. In May, 2018, and for one year, four of Bill’s automotive related paintings were on display at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA. .
