Salvage Sailor Posted December 3, 2008 Share #35 Posted December 3, 2008 U. S. Navy Ambulance Boat No. 1 (later YH-1), 1919-1939. U. S. Navy Ambulance Boat No. 1, a 54-ton, 65-foot wooden-hulled craft propelled by a four-cylinder gasoline engine, was built at the Mare Island Navy Yard, California. In November 1918 the Navy Department had placed an order with Mare Island for ten additional 54-ton motor tugs (six others had been ordered earlier in 1918 from Mare Island and Pearl Harbor), but soon decided to complete three of the later hulls, Motor Tugs Nos. 97, 100, and 101 as Ambulance Boats Nos. 1-3 respectively. This change took effect before the launching of the first unit, Ambulance Boat No. 1 (ex-Motor Tug No. 97) on 24 July 1919. The ambulance boats received their own hull type symbol, YH, when the Navy implemented its standard hull classification system in July 1920. Ambulance Boat No. 1 (later YH-1) entered service on 18 August 1919 and served for her entire career in the San Francisco Bay area (her two sisters were both transferred to Norfolk, Virginia upon completion). She was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register in December 1938 and sold in March 1939. Photo #: NH 41601 U. S. Navy Ambulance Boat No. 1 Lowering a stretcher containing a patient through the starboard side of the booby hatch aft of the pilot house. Photographed at the Mare Island Navy Yard, California, on 31 October 1919. Note the stretchers already suspended under the port side of the hatch. Collection of Rear Admiral Ammen C. Farenholt, USN (Medical Corps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAST Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share #39 Posted August 30, 2009 This is out of the Dec 1944 issue of National Geographic. It was taken in my hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Sorry about the poor quality, but it is a photocopy of the photo. If anyone has the Dec '44 issue, please feel free to scan and post the image!

It happens to be a first production WC 9. The weird thing about it is on the rear doors the pieces of wood on the bottom. Through all my research from owning the 2 following WC 9 productions and also the WC 18 weren't suppose to have this update but WC 27s and WC 54s only had them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntdoc Posted March 18, 2012 Share #43 Posted March 18, 2012 A C-46 evacuating from Saipan (bottom) and an armored ambulance that I know nothing about, but it looks tough. (I think it is U.S., but it also has a British look to me). more varied ambulances Some WWI 119th Infantry Regt. of 30th Division medics working in Belgium during Bulge action & WWI shot (maybe Brits, but nice shot either way). A few more for fun... CW ambulance shop & ambulance. All photos collected from a number of sources over the years or taken personally. Some DMZ dustoffs DMZ & Desert dustoff some more... some air ambulances fro the Ft. Rucker museum. A WC-54 (I think) beside a Liberator at the Hill AFB museum. some more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Posted March 18, 2012 Share #47 Posted March 18, 2012 Ambulance Train at Harewood Hospital - US Civil War. Civil War ambulance crew during a drill. Note the great looking Zouave uniforms! A surviving ambulance at an unknown museum. Another Civil War view of an ambulance driver with his team of horses. I also wanted to add that the American Civil War was the first war where a strategic method was devised for gathering the wounded. Military medicine made leaps and bounds during this war, in many different ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet, I am doing the same, but have not gotten that far yet, what is he using for plans? Did he find a source of the correct thickness of "cardboard" for the body?
