If Donald Drumpf was the skipper of PT 109 McMahon would have been fish food.
The crew members who survived the collision and ensuing explosion clung to a section of the hull and eventually swam for Plum Pudding Island, about three and a half miles away. Kennedy towed Patrick McMahon, a severely burned machinist’s mate, by clenching the strap of Seaman McMahon’s life jacket in his teeth. The nine other survivors clung to a plank from PT-109 and reached the island, an uninhabited dot in the Solomon Islands chain, after around four hours.
