 My father, Lawrence Ceskowski, also served on the Howell Lykes. I have a certificate dated July 13, 1944 attesting that my father crossed the equator on that date signed by Captain Henderson aka known as "Neptunus Rex"....a traditional light-hearted ceremony for merchant sailors. I I also have a copy of my father's ship's discharge papers from the Howell Lykes, and a few photos of the ship's topsides while under way. My father served from 1943 to 1945 in the Merchant Marine on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Mediterranean. He and his family were Lake Michigan commercial fisherman on the Great Lakes.
