WILSON map track

This map shows the approximate track of the WILSON from May 1944 in Houston, Texas to September 1945 in Tokyo, Japan. It is not a complete track. Using Design Map, which was developed by Tony Steinke, Charles Sturt University, I began entering the day's end coordinates (2000) from the War Diary. I had entered approximately three months worth of coordinates when the program would no longer show the picture. So I began weeding out the chaff. If a coordinate overlapped one I'd already entered (and MANY of them did), it was removed. Believe me when I say that this ship covered THOUSANDS of miles of water between Texas and Japan.
