PT-615: Rob Ianucci also has obtained another
former PT Boat, ex-PT-615, originally assigned to
RON 42, which was commissioned after the war
ended. The PT-615 was returned to Elco after being
sold and was heavily modified into a yacht. The 615
was then leased to actor Clark Gable. He named
the boat Tarbaby VI and used it through the 1950s.
The boat was serviced by Elco and stored there
when not being used.
The boat was later sold a number of times. In the
1990s it was for sale again, now known as Gable's
Dreamboat.PT-615 was eventually obtained by Rob
Ianucci for possible restoration. It is also located at
Rondout Creek, near Kingston, NY.
All of these boats could possibly one day again be
restored to their original PT boat configurations,
although much work remains to be done.
