ARGENTIA NEWFOUNDLAND On the 22nd of April the U.S.S. BENHAM left Newport, Rhode Island for the most interesting cruise that has been taken by our ship. Our first port-o-call was Argentia, Newfoundland. This little known navy base up there in the cold had little to offer, though the beer hall was warm and cozy. Doc was a little surprised at McKee ' s getting the hives from canned beer — canned Millers that is. SCENIC VIEW REYKJAVIK REYKJAVIK, ICELAND HOTEL BORG REYKJAVIK GEYSER OUTSIDE OF REYKJAVIK Moving further north, almost to the Arctic Circle, the BENHAM next anchored in Reykjavik Harbor for four days. This city is the chief port and capital of Iceland. Ashore, most of the time and money was spent at the Hotel Borg or on tours in and around the port. The homes and buildings were all made of cement and sheet metal for there is no timber in the country. Practically all the buildings in Iceland are heated by natural hot water which is piped from 10 miles outside of town arriving at the homes at about 160 degrees F. Liberty being up at ten, we came back to the ship with the sun still high in the sky, the sun finally going down at ten thirty and arising at an early two AM. The land of the cold and snow and the Hotel Borg will never be forgotten.
