WW2, THE MIGHTY MOTHBALL FLEET, COURTESY OF THE CROTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

When it comes to Croton's veterans--and the record of those who served--the volunteers of The Croton Historical Society are to be commended for the care and respect with which they treat these archives. If you are not yet a member of the society, download the membership form here: https://www.crotonhistoricalsociety.org/

And so....A fascinating piece of World War II history from their archives: MIGHTY MOTHBALL FLEET ALL GONE. Click on the photos below. What a sight this must have been to see.

    I used to look at them every time I had a class on the west side of Peekskill High. It's sad to think they are all gone.
