Devil Boat: The Saga of Pt 658
Of all the great naval stories of WWII, none are more compelling than those of the brave men who sailed aboard the PT boats. "Devil Boat" follows a group of Portland, Oregon PT boat veterans as they attempt to resurrect a PT boat from the ravages of time and neglect, sixty years after the war's end. Their aim was to restore PT 658 to its original state, complete with armaments and the original compliment of three 1,200 horsepower Packard engines. The restoration of PT 658 was a daunting task. It is not an ordinary boat, but then, these are not ordinary men, and their memories of combat on the high seas illustrate just how special these boats were.
