9TH AUGUST- 17TH AUGUST On 9 August we Med-moored in the harbor of Barcelona, Spain; the port from which Christopher Columbus began his historic journey. At Fleet Landing a replica of the Santa Maria was anchored — only a fraction larger than the liberty boats from the carrier USS F. D. ROOSEVELT. On the main street of Barcelona, we could find almost anything from a small sidewalk cafe to a brassy night- club filled with hostesses. Spanish dancers appeared in most night clubs with the exception of the Colon and Tabu, where almost every type of dancing could be seen. Souvenirs and enter- tainment were more plentiful in Barcelona than in usual liberty ports, however, many of the crew found time to visit the several beautiful parks and fountains. At one end of the city was the old world fairgrounds, and at the other, the arena where bull fights or corridas were presented three times a week. The death of two men from the USS ROOSEVELT when their helicopter crashed into the bay cast the only sad note on our 8-day visit. From the ship we could see the statue of Columbus pointing out to sea and, to us, showing the way home. As Columbus departed with a feeling of anticipation, so did we as we headed west.
