Great interesting documentary on a little-known detail of another Northwest contribution to important U.S. history and industry. Who knew that the small city of Bellingham, WA was responsible for the majority of minesweepers, and later, Vietnam era PT riverboats? Fascinating stuff. Shipyard presents history laced with plenty of human interest, which makes for the best historical interpretation. Th
