Like her predecessor the USS Betelgeuse (AK-28/AKA-11),

the USS Betelgeuse AK 260, stopped at many ports:

Scotland, Cuba, Spain, Morocco, Sicily,

Jamaica, Haiti, and Gibraltar.

 

while on the "Goose" I crossed through the

Bermuda Triangle and the equator

and ported in Kingston, Jamaica once.

 

While in the Navy I had liberty in

France, England, Italy and Greece.

 

I made many trips to Scotland in the two years

that I spent on the "Goose" and many liberty

trips to fulfill my mother and Grandmothers

lifelong dream of seeing the Blarney stone in Ireland.
