Two more views of the USS LST 512, as it arrives in Chicago, 21 May 1945, along with the information printed on the back side of the photos. One of my previous posts about the 512 was also dated May 1945, and I thought that the location was possibly New Orleans, as it was in NO on VE Day, 8 May 1945. One of these is dated 21 May, 1945, the other only says 5-45. The area appears similar to the previous photo, and the tugboat appears to be the same as well.
The 512 spent about 2 weeks in Chicago preparing for the opening of the exhibition tour, which officially began in Detroit in June 1945
