While researching the cowl vents outboard of the air trunk duct fore of the #2 funnel, specifically the starboard side 30" dia. cowl ( Marschall was correct on this one), I came across the picture of the Olympic in T at Two. P. 61 is a picture of the starboard boat deck looking aft from the bridge wing. What to my wondering eyes did appear but THAT DAMN SOUNDING MOTOR ( I think). There is a strange device covered in canvass sitting between the cutter and the #3 lifeboat on the deck. It's not a part of collapsible life boat. It's right where that spare is. It has to be the sounding motor.
Another find is seen in the "Night Lives On" first edition. In the less cropped picture of Smith and McElroy you can see a small square box and what appears to be a deck locker next to the aft bridge wing bulwark.
