Description: The USS Missouri (BB-63), the most storied American warship ever constructed. Over 400,000 Americans lost their lives during World War II. No U.S. household was spared from grief and the Missouri's mooring in Bremerton (1957-1984) was the World's first access to the historic site where the war officially ended. Admission was free and over half a million pilgrims would travel to this tiny town to pay their respects. These signs would have been placed along Charleston Blvd as you approached the "Mighty Mo" from either direction. The scratching on the one sign was done by an unpruned tree limb on the north/downtown Bremerton side (the south/Gorst side parallels railroad tracks and has no foliage). Said to have come from the estate of a Washington State governor: Dixy Lee Ray (1914-1994) or John Spellman (1926-20--) are the logical guesses.Our asking price is for ONE (1) sign. They measure 3ft by 2ft. Shipping will be $14.95 to any U.S. address ($38.00 foreign).
