Gearing (DD 710) - Naval Cruise Book

Page 32 text:

The industry of the peoples of the Lowland Countries is much in evidence in one of Northern Europe's most important shipping ports, Antwerp, Belgium. Here was a city which had savored the beauty of the art of Rubens --- but also a city which had heard the grim marching of many of History's armies. Antwerp lies far up the Scheldt River, and if anything characterizes her, it is the many river craft which ply back and forth loaded down with the traffic of Northern Europe. Ask any GEARING sailor to tell you about the peek into the future that he got at the Expo of 1958. The Brussels World's Fair was the opportunity of a lifetime to see the exhibits of what many of the world's leading nations consider important. It will be a long time before we are able to end another cruise in such an atmosphere of International achievement.
