Description
Fantastic Vietnam Seabees wooden plaque labeled "Seabee Team 0321," "Tombstone Site / Binh.Tuy Province / January 72 - April 72" and "Last of Hard Ones." It features the famous "Ghost Battalion" Jolly Roger skull and small photos with names of 13 Seabees on small metal plates underneath, with icons representing their job.Team 0321 closed down the last SeaBee Team site in Vietnam in 1972. These were probably the last 13 dirt sailors to leave.
The plaque is about 17" x 13" and each photo is about 1" tall. It is in
good shape with some scratches to the finish at the bottom as shown in the last two photos. The metal plates are tarnished but still firmly attached. There looks to have originally been a plastic cover over each photo that is detaching but the photos are still firmly attached and colorful. Please excuse the reflections and bright spots, it's a tough item to photograph.
This is an opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind piece that is an important part of American military history and a superb addition to any collection. It is awesome on display. I have placed a number of items in museums over the years and this artifact will match up with any of them. If you are a museum looking at this, I am happy to receive offers and will sell it at a discount.
