The Log of Barnacle Bill

This book is dedicated to William “Bill” H. Harris who wrote his story about his life experiences in the U.S. Navy. Bill's transcript included a dedication to U.S. Navy Destroyer Sailors. He served from 1954-1974 and was a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam Wars. He joined as a young man living on the Oregon Coast who wanted to see the world. See the world he did, going to all parts of the Pacific. Even when he retired as a Navy Chief, he continued to be a sailor at heart. His final wish was to be buried at sea and his ashes were spread off the Oregon Coast near Cape Meares. After his death, this story was found in his last effects.
