'iff' Pireas, QAthensl Greece Pireas was our second liberty stop in the Mediterranean. Serving as the seaport for nearby historic Athens, Pireas is connected by ruins of what were once great walls protecting the early Athenians on their journeys to and from the port. For a few dracma and perhaps a couple American cigarettes, you may take a cab along the 5 mile route to the heart of Athens Cand early Greek culturey from which rises the aged ruins of the Acropolis. Once there, you can make the ascent to the ruins along a well worn rocky path, and spend hours among the crumbling temples and pillars of one of the most ancientofruins while you look across the modern city be- low. Acropolis means literally, high city and is the high fortress or religious center of an ancient Greek city. The Greeks erected some of the most beautiful buildings in the world on the Athens Acropolis, in honor of their gods famong themg Nike, Athena, and Dionysosj, The modern city too, offers many beautiful sights such as the Royal Palace, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the Square of Harmony, to name a few. .4 3 ,Vw -V ' ' 4 '1' N 1 -I kj if J , Q it 1. 16

u Revoir Newport To many people, September 2nd 1958 was nothing more than the day after Labor Day, the day to go back to work after the last long week-end until Thanksgiving. But to the men of the GOODRICH, and their dependents, September 2nd brought sad goodbyes, parting looks thatwould have to last them for months, and a conglomeration of mixed emotions. Some looked forward to the cruise as a pleasant change from the States while others were undecided about how 6 months on the other side would be.Regardless of how anyone felt, we all knew that, like it or not the USS GOODRICI-I was getting underway and we'd best be aboard. So, as the sun rose slowly out of the ocean and began its daily climb, we watched Newport slide over the horizon and turned our faces to the Atlantic resigned to whatever awaited us on the other side, but consoling ourselves with thoughts and anticiparions of liberty in the Mediterranean. The Sea Detail secured, the steaming watch was set, thus began the 1958-59 Med Cruise of the USS GOODRICH. , .1 - P' it t 1'qa2!3f'5 , ts 1 5 A., H-,, -N .. . yr, , 1'- t l qt-wk A 1 - 'Jw . f ..:.-:avr . xv-aqsfy. , . -.-M it if sw fi -'rf ' at . , r,aaa , s.r,,,H,t if tr, -a , r.,,s -.:,, ,UQ is , ri. -fvfi'-,gg -, if I - - V l 4 J Y-L It Ti if .
