The Log of the Asiatic Fleet. In the early 1900's America maintained a fleet of river boats on the Yangtzee and in China coastal ports. The movie "Sand Pebbles" with Steve McQueen is a classic portrayal. The entire fleet was known as the Asiatic Fleet. Veterans of the later time maintain an association served by a newsletter and by this log. A Facebook group and other links below assist with communications.

My father was on the U.S.S. Asheville in China during the late 20's and early 30's. He was CWT Samuel Templin. Is there anyone who served during that time who would have any memories to share?
Marlene,
Unfortunately my father passed away last month. He was responsible for this website and the newsletter. He passed these responsibilities on to Ray Kester. Here is his email address for you to contact him:
raykstr@verizon.net
Good luck.
Marilyn,
I am sorry to hear of your father's death. Thank you for giving me another avenue to try. My father is deceased also and I would like to hear anything that someone may be able to tell me about his ship. I will send Ray an email.
Marlene
