      Thank you for posting these incredible photos. My father's cousin, John M. Bermingham, was the commander of the Peary during the attack on Darwin. These photos are vivid testimony to the bravery and sacrifice of so many in the early days of WWII.

      My Father was a Salior on the Peary. He is in the crew picture of 1937. I would like to know if it is possible to find the list of men who severed on board the Peary from 1937 to her sinking at Darwin. If anyone can assist me in this effort please email me at d_patrickmoore@ comcast.net. My name is Daniel Moore. My Fathers was Olin C. Moore
