Vending machines, The TR made more than half a million bucks on its
2003 voyage from drinks alone and more like $2.6 m from the ship's
store.

A long way from the coke mess and ready room popcorn machine we had on the
O-boat. Hancock had a truly draconian skipper that had each coke mess mark
every can with an identifying number. Should a can turn up "adrift" the
mess lost its authorization to sell cokes.

Was that Capt. Morton from "Mr. Roberts". I wondered what happened to him.

(We got a new Skipper in 1958. He insisted that all the men buy new shoes.
Rumor was his brother in law owned a shoe factory.)
