ATHENS After steaming non-stop for seventeen days, the MOALE dropped her anchor in Pireaus Harbor near Athens on May IO. As the ancient cradle of liberty where the ideals and principles of modern-day de- mocracy had their first begin- nings, Athens held many his- toric attractions for the ships's officers and men.

Tension was in the air and the anti-British demonstrations of the preceding week left everyone with a sense of impending crises throughout the trip.
