Perhaps we had seen the same boat, tower or not, except at a different parking spot. It was there before the official acknowledgment of 1960 starting date. Another reader remembers a gunboat at Customs Wharf which could be seen from the coastline in in front of the entryway to the golf course. That would be the one in the photo. Actually, just last evening at a gathering, another person who lived in Tamsui in the 50s told me a couple of LSTs in the same area, which I have no memory of. I only recall a rusted out hull of a certain ship.

It is always anchored in between the sandy delta and the shore, positioned at behind the police station, now is Starbucks coffee store where I spent all my summer vacation swimming and fishing everyday. <br />Several times I swam to the boat and got acquainted with the sailors on board. One of the young sailor used to follow me to my home and stayed for dinner. <br />It was a beautiful memory.<br />ChoSanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811556140606524073.post-54634757696496925822015-07-26T07:30:02.494+08:002015-07-26T07:30:02.494+08:00Hi Herman,

How fun to watch a movie and know the location where it is filmed.Hermannoreply@blogger.com
