This downloadable PDF file tells the wartime story of Lt. Jesse D. Elliott, Jr. who served on USS Tuscaloosa
CA-37 and covers, among other things, the naval battle at Casablanca. It includes a number of documents and deck logs from Tuscaloosa. And tells the tragic story of his death at the Coconut Grove fire in Boston on Nov. 28, 1942. This book has been graciously offered to MaritimeQuest by the author Barbara Adams, the only child of
Lt. Elliott and we thank her for telling his story and for allowing us to make it available to the public.
