Here You are viewing some old photo's of what the U.S. Coast Guard would call "Go Fast Boats" today! These photo's are from the late Thirties or Forties... Hall-Scott was a company formed in California in 1910, that produced Engines. Most likely the vessels are on Trial Runs, for the Armed Services, during early WWII. The Hulls were wood of course, probably manufactured by the Higgins Boat Co., same company that produced P.T. Boats during the War. All in the photo's powered by Hall-Scott Engines. The vessels would be used for, Fast Attacks, Rescue operations, picking up Downed Pilots, etc.
I mentioned Higgins Boat Co., manufactured P.T. Boats, as did ELCO, Electric Boat Co. of Connecticut.
