Title
Frank, Gabriel (Gabe) Clip 1
Description (Scope and Content)
Born in New York City, Gabe had his father sign him up for the Merchant Marine when he was seventeen years old. He arrived at the newly opened Sheepshead Bay training station in 1945 without a penny to his name. With the War still raging, Gabe and his fellow trainees began a program that would prepare them for the dangers of the maritime shipping routes that had been plagued by Nazi and Japanese submarine attacks since 1941.
