University of Tarafu Document 98-130-0107
See notes below document.
Notes:
1. This document is one of those donated to the university by Cdr (Ret.) Quinton McHale.
2. The caption on the back of the photograph states: "Cpt Wallace B. Binghamton [commanding officer of AmConSportFor3] supervises the construction of new seaplane ramps in [Taratupa, the Seiber Islands] somewhere in the South Pacific." The words in brackets were crudely blacked out (presumably by a censor) and the underlined words added in pen and ink.
3. McHale states that this is a actually a photograph of Cpt Wallace B. Binghamton in the Taratupa Lagoon in early 1942 trying to recover his skiff which sank after Binhamton accidently shot a hole in its hull with his .45 pistol.
